Day Three

The day started early with Jen picking me up this morning with her three tagging along to hit the "Day After Christmas Sale" at JoAnns which has become an annual tradition. However in this part of the country it's not a stressful event. We found a parking place right near the front door, went in and gathered up our treasures mostly at 70% discount and were back in the car in less than forty minutes. Normally it's a two-hour event—waiting in huge lines to get the deals! Then we headed to Target so the kids could spend their gift cards, then on to Costco for a quick hot dog and shopping for the mid-western family's visit . . . we were home by 2 p.m. . . . and totally relaxed. With a quick pick up of the house and a chicken pie in the oven, we greeted our daughter and son-in-law and two grandsons with open arms. They had a long travel day and were glad to finally get here. We'll enjoy being together for the next week or so. How truly blessed we are!

Here are the other two of our five grandkids.
It's so much fun to watch them play all together.
