Over the plains and through the streets, to grandmother’s house we go…..
What a relaxing, bright, joyfilled Christmassy day we had! Mom served her “famous” salisbury steak. We also enjoyed twice baked potatoes, crunchy salad, and all the other fixins – plus pie! So good! We ate out in the sun room with Mom, Kay Gary & Wanda – lots of stories were remembered and shared!
That afternoon we went to the cemetary and decorated Dad Johnson’s grave with poinsettas. We also saw the grave stones of Mom & Dad Darby & Chuck. It was good to remember the lives of our close family that are now in heaven. “We’ll be there with ya!”
We had more time of sharing life and adventures of the past year. We are all thankful that Kay is now living with Mom, she is doing so well! We also did a bit of work in Kay’s new office, she has made it so cute and practical. We’re thankful for this time to spend with our family – it’s a blessing to have the support, love, and encouragment of each other!
On down the road to Rocky Ford to meet up with the rest of our Colorado family! We all met at Ben & Heather’s house on Christmas Day – they had everything decorated and the food was smelling so good!
Look who we found! Welcome to the family Mary Irene! She’s a precious little doll – so adorable! It was good to get to hold her and give her some love! She’s wearing the same outfit that her daddy Nick came home from the hospital with when he was a baby! How fun!
Had a great time and lots of laughs with Ben & Heather, Josh, Jeremy, and Jayden! They just had to make a unique family Christmas picture, with the caption: “It’s America, we eat beef, drink beer, shoot guns, and speak English – Merry Christmas!”
It was a great day! Full of activities, laughter, stories, pranks, and Christmas goodies!
