Randomly, when we came to Papa's a basketball game was on and all three of our girls sat there watching it for 20 minutes.
We were so glad to spend time with our friends the Weese family, Aunty Tobi, Theo Speedo, Yaya Sofia & of course Papa.
The food was excellent!! And of course, Papa spoiled everyone rotten!!! The girls were very excited to get MP3 players, Ella got Frozen goodies, Eli played for 1 hour straight with his remote control car.
Not to mention the lefta. Thanks Dad. You're the best.
Always so generous!!!
And he got prunes and dried figs in return.
Theo Speedo always has the most unique gifts!!! He got these hats and a sweater for Ella from a lady from Peru. They were totally awesome.
He is such a fun Santa.
Yaya Sofia came bearing the gold, stuffed animals, and blankets!!!
WE ARE SOOOOOO BLESSED!!!!!
But all our gifts truly pale in comparison to the gift of having such wonderful, loving family. So grateful to spend time together, to eat together, to laugh together, to cry together.... to be together.
It's such a blessing and I never take it for granted.
Missing mom of course. It's never going to be the same without her. I know she is smiling on us in heaven, but man... it hurts so much sometimes. Wanting to hug her. Wanting to hear her voice. Wanting to see her smile or her crazy faces. Wanting to hold hands or rub her back.
We keep going and she keeps helping us. So grateful she's with Jesus.
She's in good hands. So grateful baby Joe is there too. That they are partying with the angels.
