After a week in Snowflake with Chad and Cassie and Justin and Jessica; two days in Phoenix with Nan and Gerald (Jeff's family) and a quick overnight trip at Larry and Jerri's, we are headed home. We have gone through freezing cold weather and enjoyed 71 degree weather in Phoenix. Beautiful drives and roads and terrible snowy, icy roads.....but all is good.
We had a wonderful time with Chad and Cassie. Very relaxing and enjoyable. Chad and Jeff did alot of work to help Chad catch up on rock work, fence work, painting touch up, etc,. Always something to do and I had the job of holding Jessica for hours at a time! I definitely got the better end of that stick! Justin is talking up a storm and Papa and I can understand most of what he is saying. He didn't want us to leave by the end of the week, and that made me the most happy! It seems we just get to spend enough time for him to get comfortable with us and then we have to leave. Hopefully he is getting older and will remember us better. Papa and I spent time on our drive home planning some camping trips we might be able to take Justin, Seth, Noah, Hope, Maisie and Addie on. (Jessica, too when she is older!) Hopefully some fun times we can share. We love opportunities to spend individual time with our grandbabies!
Tammy and Brannon and girls spend a few days in Reno with Grandpa Vern and Grandma Nancy. Sounds like they had a good time as well. The drive is always more than you think and crummy roads don't help, but I know Nancy loved the girls and appreciates the effort they make to be there. Sorry Brannon about the Cowboys! BUMMER! Jets, too!!!
Tanya and Matt and family moved back to Montana to be closer to family and then we leave for the holidays and Matt had to leave for Billings around noon on Christmas Day. Not the most fun way to spend Christmas, but they did spend time with the Kanenwisher family before Matt left and were able to enjoy the great snow for sledding. We had them up to our house before we left and celebrated our Christmas together with my sister, Terry as well.
I love all the joy and peace the season brings. I love visiting all our children and grandchildren. I love being able to look forward to home, the gospel in our lives, and the opportunities it brings to each of us.
May God bless each of you in your choices and endeavors for the New Year.
We love you all, miss you all, I plan to get a card out to many of you during the first of the year!

Blog looks great Mom. Miss you terrible. Sitting here trying to talk myself into vaccuming and starting dinner. Glad your home safe now!! XOXO
Tracy, Leigh is so jazzed about the 5-day hike. I wondered if it would be feasible to rent a pack animal for that week? I just don't know how Leigh's back would hold up with weight on it. Also, while talking with some friends about this hike we ignited in them a desire to join us. Their names are Trudy and Bill Rawlings. . .we have traveled to Guatemala, MEX, and Lake Powell with them. I said I would bounce the idea off of you, since it is YOUR party.
