Since our plan was to stay through Christmas, we divided our time up with family & friends, that thankfully generously offered us lodging. So as not to overwhelm any one family with our stay:)
Our 1st week was spent at our youngest son
Jaemes & Brandi's home, which gave us lots of time
with our oldest grandchild--Cassady who is now 14. He is our delight & has been since his birth. We enjoyed Thanksgiving at their home with the family. These two provided us with a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner & time together as family.They also decided to do Christmas Brunch for the family as well. And what a very special Christmas this was for us. Brandi's mom & dad joined us and this made for an even more special holiday. You guys are the best!
Our second week was spent with good friends, Gary & Joyce,
who were our neighbors when we had our stick house. They were always the "best" of neighbors but more importantly they remain the "best" of friends. We love spending time with these two, they are such great hosts, & quite the ever wondering travelers--so not only do we enjoy spending time in their home with them, but we love hearing about their latest adventures!Our last 3 weeks we stayed at our longtime friends, Lisa & Larry,
who graciously included us in their family's holiday celebrations. Dianne & Lisa have been "best" of friends for 30 years. They raised children together, played together, laughed together, cried together, camped together, schemed together, worked together, traveled together, prayed together & enjoyed a friendship that afforded each of them with so many special times. It was so great to have the opportunity to stay at their home and celebrate this time of the year as family! We can never thank them enough.
