Holiday's with my family

Lucy - good dog!

Patty got down and played with Mags - two fashionistas!




How many men does it take to put a hat together? Russ came over to help...


Grandpa Mike and Mags (she was the only girl to come with us because she flies free)




We were able to see both my parents this holiday season. We visited Redding to see my dad and my mom flew out to see us on the way home from KS.

It was very a pleasant visit with my dad and Patty. We just relaxed and enjoyed each other. We also were able to have a nice dinner with friends Russ and Deanna as well as Deanna's son Roger, his wife Shelley and their kids. David's present was a new(er) truck - we bought my father's diesel truck. So after a nice few days, we drove home. It took us 15 hours - UGH.

Christmas day, we got pummeled by a huge storm. I loved it! However, with my mother arriving the next day, and more snow was forecasted, I wasn't begging for more snow. We had mom and Stan cancel their rental and we went down and picked them up in a 4WD vehicle.

The girls really loved seeing my mom and Stan. Stan is so cute with the girls too. He had a blast with our new "quesadilla grill" - he showed me just how much fun it could be.

The time between viosits is always too long and the visits themselves tend to be too short. I do wish that I had been able to see my sister and her family... soon I hope.
Happy New Year!
