Banana Bread

Just a little Merry Christmas to our neighbors who have made Minnesota feel even more like home. To the family at the end of the street who brought us ice cream the week we moved in and, we recently discovered, are the ones who  cleared our sidewalk twice for us after it snowed. To our neighbor across the street who collects the bags her newspapers come in so we don't have to buy supplies to pick up after our dogs on walks. To our neighbors across the back alley who often have us over for dinner and can ALWAYS be relied upon when you need a teaspoon of this or a quarter cup of that. And to all the neighbors who check in to make sure we have somewhere to go for the holidyas! We knew so little about where we were moving when we came to this neighborhood, and we'll always feel so grateful for neighbors whom we can trust and laugh with, and whom we can & do enjoy spending time with- Bonfires and BBQs, Friendsgiving, and random backyard & alleyway chats. Merry Christmas! We love you!

...AND we're sorry about our barky dogs :)
