DECEMBER 8TH THRU 18TH
Our journey to the mission field (Canada Toronto) took us past three of our children homes, where we were able to spend two to three days with each of them before crossing into Canada.
We stopped at Troy and Christine's home in Washington, MO and enjoyed Addie and Chandler and their family. We did some shopping, went to a movie, and out to eat. McCall is serving a mission in St. George, Ut. and Austin is serving a mission in Colorado Denver South mission.
Our last home to visit was Chris and Sharon's home in Rockford, MI where we spent time with their two children, Connor and Trent and their family. We went out to eat and enjoyed going to church with them. Tyler, their oldest is at BYU. and Lexie is at Utah State, in Logan UT. One evening we went to Connor's and Trent's Christmas concert. They are both very talented in the instruments they play. Connor plays the trumpet, and Trent plays first chair in all of the percussion instruments.
We then traveled to Burlington, KY to be with Britta, Makenzie, Avery and Emme. It was so nice to see the girls again. I had "Mary Poppins" pay them a visit when we got there. Mary danced around the living room like she does at all the grand children's homes, and brought some unexpected gifts to 3 very sweet grand children. She had her large brimmed hat on her head and big carpet bag with her. The girls were excited to open a few gifts. One evening we went to a nearby community church and the girls were able to do many hands-on Christmas activities. They enjoyed a hay wagon ride and liked to touch all of the animals at the petting zoo.
