Weekend

We had a good weekend. Saturday we had a houseful of kids coming and going which is just one of the many things I love about living in this house. Saturday night Jeff and I attended a progressive Christmas party. It was such a fun and yummy time! Sunday after church we went to my stepmother's house for an early Christmas with her, her fiance, and my sister and her family.
The absolute best part was a gift my stepmother gave to my sister and I. She handed the bag to Julie and said that this was for her this year and for me the next year. Inside was an ornament that had belonged to my dad. He received it as a child and it says "Merry Christmas Johnny". (his name was John but my Grandma Angeline called him Johnny). Julie and I were overcome with emotion. It means everything to us to have this part of him.
