Home for the holidays

It's great to have Heather and Jason home for Thanksgiving. We went to Indiana Wednesday and Thursday. When we came back, Laura Scott came with us. We had an AWESOME day! Had a big breakfast (actually brunch) this morning. Then, we went to a Christmas tree farm and picked out a beautiful Black Hills Spruce for a Christmas tree. Put it up and decorated the inside of the house today.

For Thanksgiving, we saw Reva's Grandma Hoover (on Wednesday). She is 101 years old and still doing amazingly well. Enjoyed the few hours we spent with her and Aunt Ruth. Then, we went to Lafayette and spent Wed. night and Thanksgiving day with Reva's folks. We always have a blast there. Dan and Reenie Bickel were there. Janna, Jessa, Christy (she spent the night in Marion with Jessa) and Janna's boyfriend came in the morning. Joel came too. We had a super day with games, food, football games, more food, laughing and just reveling in each others' company. Great to be with family. Drove home LATE Thanksgiving night.

Saturday, my folks come over to Muskegon and we'll have a Thanksgiving with them. Looking forward to seeing mom for the first time since her heart attack.

Christy has a BB scrimmage in the morning. We'll have a later dinner and then Dad and Mom will stay till Sunday. Looking forward to our time.

Also looking forward to the church's Advent theme starting this Sunday. "The Christmas You've Always Dreamed of" should be an exciting Advent event for 5 weeks.
