A Sad Goodbye to Family

With all wonderful vacations and family visits, they must come to an end. But we have many memories that will keep us going until we can be together again:

Paige and Rhaegan loved playing dress-up and
playing the piano. They have such sweet voices.

They got to do a few things they have never done before.
Papa took them ice skating,
(Kendall and Rhaegan)



Papa with Tyson and Sam

Paige and Rhaegan modeled their new aprons

Marlee loved the attention she got when
sitting on the books at Sam's Club

Another first was going bowling. We all love Wii bowling,
but they wanted to try the "real" thing.

Rhaegan bowled a 12

Sammy bowled a 26

Tyson bowled an 87. He almost beat Grandpa.
Not bad for the first time.

Christmas decorations are down, the house is organized and very quiet. You would think that one would be in "seventh heaven" at this point, but it is sad to have your children and grandchildren gone. Hopefully it won't be a year before they can all return.

We loved having all of you with us and hope your Christmas was as merry as ours was.

Thanks for everything, Mom! We had a great time and I am definitely going to come back before next Christmas. If I had my way we would just move in.
