Around last Thanksgiving Jason was asking me what I would like to have for Christmas. I had been really missing my family, so I told him that all I wanted was for him to fly my siter down from Wisconsin where she lives with her husband and three boys.
By the time Christmas came around I had already forgotten our conversation, so Jason was able to surprise me with his gift. He was flying my sister out on our shared birthday, March 6th, and my brother-in-law had agreed to take time off to watch his three boys.
I had a wonderful visit this past weekend with Petronella. It has been almost two years since I have seen any of my family. We talked, walked around in Historic Distric of Boulder City, watched some of my kids' sports event, watched movies, baked...and just hang around. To top her visit, our contractor worked extra hard to get our sauna done so Petronella was able to enjoy sauna on Saturday night, before returning home on Sunday. It was a perfect weekend!
Petronella had come here from the snow in Wisconsin, so she absolutely wanted a picture by a palm tree.
