holidays going fast

I feel like Christmas is slipping away! We got to attend a really great Christmas party last night and we are preparing for our small group tomorrow...these two parties are all we are attending as far as I know.

We have so many great friends and what makes the holiday special is spending time with them and our family - and this year family looks a whole lot different! A new amazing son-in-law and very limited time with our kids before they both are off again! This makes for kind of a panicky feeling I guess! Yet we are determined to breathe in each moment - far into our memories where they will always remain!

I thought you'd enjoy some pictures from last night - notice the competing hats!


Determine to enjoy this holiday - the birth of the beautiful Savior!

another holiday come 'n gone

We had a blast the past couple of days, and now it's back home for everyone - or off on new tours - or back to work preparing for Christmas at Crossroads!

Funny how all our lives take us different directions - down different roads but always lead us back home at least for a little while.

Things we did:

ATE

took naps on the floor as demonstrated in the picture

Made hard-tack candy in grandpas garage and

Loved every minute of the last few days and look forward to new visits in just a few short weeks!

You can tell it is a holiday! I am not really writing except to say loud and clear...
