It was so nice to have Ashley and Jessie come for a day and 1/2.  Short but sweet. Jessie had been keeping up with the road conditions and anxious to get settled to start his new job in Colorado Springs.

Saying good-bye to Ashley was hard for me.  I just did not get to have her stay long enough.

Ashley and Jessie planned to stay with us on December 17-19.  But there was a storm coming to Colorado so they felt they should leave in the morning  on Monday the 19th instead of early morning Tuesday the 20th.

We did not want them to have difficulty traveling in the snow and fog, so we said our good-byes earlier than planned.

BYE-LOVE YOU BUNCHES!!! and drive careful.

Bye Kids Merry Christmas, Mamo and Papo are so glad you came to see us for Christmas and to be with Aunt Ashley and Uncle Jess.

Sharae and Joe made a special effort to come see Ashley and Jess and to spend some time with the family for Christmas.  We are so glad you came, we had lots of fun.  Drive careful.

Sharae, Joe and the kids left 40 minutes after Ashley and Jess left.  Since Ash and Jess left they figured they should head back home also, Joe had a lot of work to do.  He had been out of town to Boston on a business trip, so he had some things to finish with his work.

Bye, we love you, and Merry Christmas.

we watched till you were out of site.
