I'm always excited when the kids are all home. It helps lessen the empty next syndrome. If you are a mother who has grown children, you may understand what I'm talking about.
We celebrated Christmas a few days after Christmas. Tam-e, Bobby & the kids came in on Friday night so they wouldn't have to get up early on Saturday to come home.
I had made arrangements to see our old house on Saturday morning. (Steve & I built a log cabin on a piece of the farm my parents owned.) It had been approximately 8 years since we moved from there. Wayne & Sarah were gracious enough to give us a tour of the old homestead. They made a few changes which were for the better. I don't know about the kids, but I loved seeing the place again. It is a nice house. Steve did a good job in building it. He should be proud of his accomplishments.
We then went to the cemetry. BJ wanted to go to my parents gravesite. Even though its been almost 22 years, I still miss them. I wonder if that part will ever subside.
Back to the house for lunch and open presents. The grandkids were patient and then Alexis couldn't stand it any longer. She wanted to know when we were opening gifts. Even though I get everything on my list, it's still exciting to open the presents.

I loved coming home. I didn't know you had this blog! Why didn't you tell me????
It was good to see the old house. I would love to go and see it again. I think Dad would have liked to have gone. Maybe he can sometime. It looked so beautiful and I miss being there sometimes.
I miss Grandpa and Grandma too! So many great memories of them!
Wasn't sure I would keep doing the Blog. After being "found out" and receiving a comment. It's fun and so I believe I will continue on with it.
I'm quite sure Wayne & Sarah would welcome us again. Even though they may own it, it still feels like "home".
I miss my parents too! They were great people. Those memories need to be written down to share with others. It would be like telling stories only in written form. Thanks Tam-e. :)
