Winter is Here

The holidays are upon us and we have a lot for which to be thankful. This past wee, we were able to journey to see family. Some of our extended family were present as well so we got to see a lot of people! It was. Ice to see everyone. Like everything else, it was also nice to return home! Let's tell you all about it with a few extra details thrown in!

We were originally going to leave Wednesday evening, stop somewhere along the way for Bible study, and get to the family's house late (or early!). However, KayKay developed a wound on her foot which required a change in plans. So, we left early Thursday morning and arrived at the destination by noon. The journey was safe but had a 45-minute detour about which we did not know. We arrived to a great-mother, a set of set of grandparents, and two sets of aunts and uncles which their families. We celebrated the holiday with a meal and spent the day together. Originally, Mom and Dad were going to sleep at the other set of grandparents but with Kay being wheelchair bound, they thought they would have to digress to an air mattress in the living room. Thankfully, my aunt and uncle opted to secure lodging if we would take care of their kids. Of course, I was more than happy to take care of my little cousins!

Our great-grandmother was there for the holidays and we opted to have a birthday party with the family who was also in the area. She will become an octogenarian in the days ahead. At one point, there were 28 people in the house! It was crowded. We stayed through the weekend and came back by way of the other set of grandparents and then on home.
