Get set...

Now that the holidays are over it is almost time to go.  This Christmas was super special because it was the first time in roughly 10 years that we had our whole immediate family together in one place at the same time.

Not only that, but we were actually all together twice for family pictures. The first time was for David and Terni's wedding reception and then again at the Desert Star Playhouse on Christmas Eve. We appreciate very much what it took to make this a reality and are so grateful for the memories.

Our preparation 'to do' list is shrinking. We've started gathering some things to take with us.  Since we are driving we aren't limited to just a couple of suit cases, but will still need to be selective with what is packed.   It is an opportunity to find out again just how little is actually needed to get by.

One thing we learned at Christmas this year is that when we miss the grand kids they can always be shrink wrapped and mailed to us.

Thank You Janica!
