BLUE SKIES AND SNOW

OUR PHOTOGRAPHER FINALLY GETS INTO A PICTURE
THERESA - TRYING TO GET EVERYONE IN THE PICTURE - GOOD JOB

A BEAUTIFUL SKY - BUT MORE SNOW IN THE FORCAST







The sun was shining as we drove to the airport to send Brittany and Byran on their journey to warm Hawaii. It seems like we had just been there picking them up. We are wondering this morning if they got to Hawii all right. No word from our travellers so hopefully they were not stuck at the airport.

Looking out this morning there is no more snow but the whole street looks so different with the piles of snow everywhere.

There is always so much preparation for Christmas and then it is all over. Getting ready is a big part of making it exciting. Our family was just amazing getting everyone to Carol and Panteli's for a great turkey dinner. Leah came home on the bus from Cache Creek at 5 in the morning and even with a cold was bright and cheery. The sky train had stopped running but Sandra and Randy rescued them and they all arrived in good time. We missed Chris and Belinda and Tasha and Justice. All the Mike's joined our noisy group and it certainly was noisy!

Kenny and Melina sent us pictures of Matthew and Jessie so we felt close to them also. Talking on the phone with them and Rick connecting us all.

It was a noisy and fun time with Theresa and Kim getting us all to play a game. Everyone was a good sport and it was a fun time even when the bowl of potatoes landed on the floor.

I missed going to church and the spiritual moments that enrich the Christmas spirit. There is something about the energy that only prayer and worship can give to our longing souls.

Now Christmas is over we will really be envolved in the marriage plans of Mary and Michael John.
