So far...

we have just been relaxing and enjoying it! The kids have had so much fun just playing at Nana and Papa's house. Today, we went to Bellingham Christ the King. It was a great service. Jackson did well sitting with us and our social butterfly, Jaycee, went to class.

Thursday night we got to meet our precious niece, Gwendolyn, for the first time. What a joy she is. All of the Lohrer cousins have grown and changed so much. Each one of them are so unique in their personalities and they are such a delight to be. Jaycee went home with the cousins Thursday night and had a splendid time.

Things we have already checked off our list of things to do, Wood's Coffee and Taco Time. I am sure that we will hit them a couple of more times while we are here. We did some shopping too today. I so love being close to places to shop. That is probably why God has us living in Velma so I won't be shopping everyday. Ha!Ha! That goes with coffee places, too. I enjoyed going to the mall this afternoon with Nana and then went shopping at Fred Meyer's with Byron tonight. I am pretty sure we are going back to the mall again in the morning!

This week will get a little more busy, but we are excited to see our friends. Tomorrow night we will be getting together with our small group from NCCTK. It will be wonderful to see everyone and their families. When the small group started Jaycee was the only child and now everyone has one, most have two, or moving towards that. Tuesday, we are spending time with the Lohrer 7. Wednesday is the get together with the Nooksack gang at Red Robin. We are very thrilled to see everyone there. Thursday we are having a Lohrer girl day! Amanda takes her girls every year down to Seattle for a girls day. She has invited Nana, Jaycee, and myself to join them. Pretty sure its going to a magical day for all of us. Christmas Eve we will have dinner at Phil and Amanda's then attend Christmas Eve service at NCCTK. Christmas Day will be at Nana and Papa's! WOOHOO!!! Busy full week with lots of time to share, love, and be thankful for all the wonderful amazing blessings God has given to us. THE BEST GIFT OF ALL IS JESUS!!!
