Mmmm! It was wonderful and I am so thankful. For my dad...
who makes a wonderful, beautiful dinner and makes it seem so seamless.
So thankful to see my brother and his wife and adorable kids who live in Denver and watch the cousins play together....
I didn't get a picture of my brother Steve, but it was so great to see him and I'm so glad he's doing so well and so happy!
The beautiful feast...
The kids' table...
I'm so thankful for my wonderful, amazing, tireless mom who never stopped cleaning and helping and serving the whole time we were there. Hannah brought Grandma a gingerbread cookie kit so that they could make cookies together...
Dad did not disappoint with his Christmas Village. He wasn't going to do it this year, but then he got a call from Hannah saying how excited she was to see it and really...who can resist Hannah??
John found a cool place with Sand dunes for miles and we took all the kids there one afternoon.
They were loving it...
See our camper in the background... (John set up the Wii in there and they played the whole drive! I finished two books!)
Georgia, especially, had a fondness for the sand...
At one point eating it and then later lounging in it and pouring it over her like it was gold. It was hilarious!
Farrah and I planted ourselves on a blanket and talked while the kids ran wild. It was nice.
Grandpa and his girls...
We played tennis and basketball, swam in the indoor pool, ate, played in the yard, played games, ate, read books and magazines, watched movies, ate, rode grandpa's scooter...
and ate some more.
Here's a goodbye shot of darling Graham and Georgia at the airport. It was so fun to be with family for a week of leisure and love!
I am thankful.
