Home for the Holidays!

"I'll be home for Christmas! You can count on me..." It is so true, there is no place like home for the holidays! We had a most wonderful time together with our children and our families! We packed our bags and made a trip across the ocean to be with our family and friends!

We felt so very blessed to return to our old neighborhood to be greeted by a welcoming oyster roast! It was such a great time and I still find it amazing that during the holiday weeks our friends took the time to plan a party for us! WOW!

The weeks home were filled with laughter, food, late nights, early mornings, food, food, and more food! I think we ate our way through the advent time! Today, I am still working on losing a couple of the pounds I discovered on the return trip home. The sights, sounds, and smells of the holidays in familiar settings bring such a comfort to the soul!

We enjoyed celebrating... college degree accomplishments!' Birthdays! Anniversarys!; Christmas Eve!; Christmas Morning! Family Gatherings!; New Year's Eve!: New Year's Day!

It was difficult to board the plane and leave behind our families and friends and our children...but we also know they will come to visit us soon! Yipee!
