Christmas Visit with the Friends

 Life has made it almost impossible for us to visit Matt and Chrissy the last few years, but this week it worked out that we could make a Christmas visit on our way to West Virginia. We hung out in the game room at their apartment complex and the boys had fun playing pool. The stick was longer than Isaiah is tall, but after a game or so he worked out a method that worked reasonably well.

Chrissy had gifts for the children--a Christmas ornament for each and something else they would enjoy.

Anna's ornament was a guitar case with a little guitar inside. Clearly she LOVED it. It is attached to her guitar case now, I'm not sure it will ever make it on a Christmas tree.

The other ornaments were equally personalized. Isaiah's was a minecraft bee, Josiah's a key fob with the 2023 on it--the year he got his permit, Aliza's was an airplane with her name, India, and 2023--her first flight.

A picture with all of us made my heart happy! Keeping in touch via Marco Polo is great, but seeing each other in person was special.
