Post-Holiday Visit

As many folks know (ourselves included) it can be hard to visit with everyone at the holiday season. Of course, since retailers seem to start the Christmas season earlier and earlier perhaps we should plan for pre-Christmas get togethers.

We visited with the youngest granddaughter in mid-December to celebrate her birthday and an early Christmas visit, but didn't see the older grandchildren until recently for a post-holiday visit.



The grandkids had a 3-day weekend and the weather was also cooperative, so they traveled with their mother to  CT where we all gathered at the home of their Grenville's aunt and uncle. 

While the holiday decorations already had been put away, we brought presents to open. The adults enjoyed watching the grands open their gifts and joined in too.
It was nice to get together with family and have the holidays last just a little bit longer.

With obligations many family members have, we've become flexible in scheduling celebrations.
