A Wonderful Gift!





   Our Josh and Lauren blessed us with an early Christmas gift of paying for half of our plane tickets to come visit them and meet our new Granddaughter Peyton and spend time with our grandson Tate.   They spoiled us rotten while we were there with trips to Ethel B's Christmas Light display in the cactus garden, seeing the Christmas display at the Bellagio, Lauren took me to Ikea and Josh taking Jeff golfing.  They also took us out to eat so many times!  Best of all though was spending so much time with them cuddling our granddaughter and spend lots of time playing with Tate.  Tate and I even made Cranberry Orange Bread together!  One morning we met my friend Sheena, from high school, for breakfast.  We were so busy catching up that we forgot to take a picture.  LOL! It was a lovely week and one that built memories that will last a lifetime.  












 













































We are home and missing them all now.  It's so hard having them so far away but we know that is what is working for them right now.  They will be moving in the Spring to Utah and hopefully we will be able to spend more time together since it will only be a long 1 day drive to see them.  Precious memories were made and we are so very thankful for this wonderful early Christmas gift!
