Sunday 29th – Sterling Heights, Michigan
Dear Family,
Our journey home from Denver went smoothly. We already miss Ryan, Rachel, Mia and little Lydia, but we enjoy being home and reunited with family back in Michigan.
We baked 18 pies, roasted a 20 pound turkey complete with stuffing and gravy for the Thanksgiving Day feast for 20 people at Jim & Vanessa's home. Besides the families of Jim & Vanessa and Ryan & Maureen, the Stebar and Reihl families joined the celebrations. We called Michael, who was in Idaho, to participate in the “What are you thankful for” session before dinner. It was a great joy for all to be together for the feast, and later play games and just share time with one another.
“Let the spirit of thanksgiving guide and bless your days and nights.” Gordon B. Hinckley (2Nephi 9:52)
The day after - it was difficult to face all the preparatory work and effort ahead of us to get ready for Christmas, but we got started and things will be ready. We are so looking forward to all the children and grandchildren coming to our home to celebrate Christmas with us. We are sure it will be a grand celebration because He, whose birth we celebrate, is great beyond measure. Whatever our celebrations seem to be, he seeks above all, our sincere, thoughtful love for Him and those He came to redeem.
We love y'all,
Mom & Dad
