Karlen Christmas 2019 Version

We arrived around 10:45 on Christmas night thanks to D-man driving the entire way. We took a new route which kept things interesting. And thankfully, the gas station was open in Elgin for a pit stop. It is eerily quiet driving across Nebraska on Christmas Day for sure. 

We enjoyed staying in the Geisert’s beautiful home all decorated for Christmas. Activities included ping pong, Family Feud, football watching, community center, basketball in Wayne, cards, and time with family. Jaima also hosted a small Schulte Christmas. 

A winter storm extended our trip by one day and made the drive home longer and not great for a good stretch. But, we made it and as D-man said as we pulled into Louisville, it is always fun in Pender. I completely agree. 

On our way!
