Over the river and through the town...

...to Grandmother (Joan's) home we go!

Joan lives in a very nice assisted living center, and we enjoyed a very relaxing & fun Christmas afternoon at the rec area just down from her room.  

It was fun to see Grandma Jan, Grandma Joan, Linda, Joe, and most of their kids/significant others along with three of Mark's brothers/others.;)

Ally, Ryan, Kelly, Jay, Joe

 These people are always up for a new board game;) We played "Telestrations" and had a lot of fun! Linda and Jan brought delicious beef and ham for sandwiches, and we had plenty of snacks to keep us happy all afternoon:)

Linda, Nicole, her fiance Dean

Joey, Jamey & Harper, Ryan

Mark & Cy

Paige, Grandma Joan, Shae, Ally

 The girls were sporting their new sweatshirts & boots  -- sadly, clothes have overtaken toys as the favorite gift to get!

Young and old - Christmas is for everyone!

Jackie, Harper, Grandma Joan

On our way out of town that evening, we drove through Hillcrest Services' Reflections in the Park.  What a beautiful way to raise money for people who need it - and a great way to get in the holiday spirit!
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!

And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.==1 John 5:11
