Home for the Holidays....They all start making their way home to LakeLand Village Allyn WA... The first part of the Holiday Season...

Thanksgiving starts it off!- Tradition has most of the kids coming to my house for Thanksgiving and this year is no different. I am really excited this year about Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Some years I am not as excited but more worn out from it all happening so quickly and there being so much to do...

This year seems a little more special and a little different. And there really is no distinct reason other than it has been a TOUGH year for everyone. That has made me really appreciate even more the close relationship that our family DOES have. And it's made me more aware of that and how special our times together during the Holidays are.

Becky's making her way home from Pullman. She's got one shot basically to get across the mountains with all the winter weather that has been here and is still expected. She doesn't like driving it (it's a 5-1/2 hour drive over the mountain pass) and her car -w ell it's not the greatest, most reliable automobile in the world...

So we wait with bated breath- as we watch the weather and track her progress through text messaging! So far so good! She's in Ellensburg! That's about still 3 hours away but closer!

One almost home for Thanksgiving!

I am even actually excited about decorating the house this year!
