California Part 1

We were able to go stay with Darrell's mom from December 18-23.  It was so wonderful to be with family.

The flight there--coloring books with stickers helped the time go by quickly for the kids. (Darrell and I enjoyed Jet Blue's TV service.)



Carol volunteers in a classroom and we were able to visit on the day they were making gingerbread houses.  Emily, Megan and Tyler loved being there and the "big kids" loved having them there.  It was a win-win for everyone.

Listening to the directions for how to make the gingerbread houses.

One night we ate the Olive Garden.  We LOVE that place!



All of the grandkids. (David, Emily, Matt, Tyler, Megan and Jeff)



One day we walked to the park and had a picnic.  The kids were in heaven.

Fun to see all of the pictures! Hey, would you be interested in going one afternoon to see the tulips at Thanksgiving Point? Opens Saturday, April 19th - May 3.

Would a Tuesday, Wed. or Thursday pm work? Or we could get together and do something else. :)
