Christmas weekend......

The weekend started with Karley getting home on Thursday night :)

 She was so excited to be home. She was glowing from her trip to Hawaii. She was so beautiful. She loved the decorated house. It was so great to see her. It was also the first time she had seen her mommy with no hair. She loved my bald head and kissed it just like she said she was going to. I wasn't feeling well so I couldn't go with Dan to get Karley, but her best friend Joanna was in town and went in my place and surprised Karley. It was great! Then we got to enjoy Joanna over night and some of Friday. Love you Jo!

Friday, my beautiful friend Peri-lyn...

 Set up for her friend to take professional family photos of us. It was so wonderful. We haven't had professional photos ever. Haley met us at the house and we all headed to Peri-lyns to take photos. It was great! She has a barn, a tree swing and just cool scenery to take pictures.

Then Friday night Dan and I just spent the evening resting. It was really nice. 


Christmas Eve we went to our great friends Merle and Bettie's. It was so nice. I got to meet Hank Edelbrock :) Courtney's son just born November 30th. We got to see Marcus and Becky. We also met Dr. Bob and his wife Gloria. It was just a great Christmas Eve. I did end up totally crashing before dinner. Got up had dinner and headed home. It was still a good. I am learning that when you are a cancer patient you just can't do everything you used to do.  Some pictures from the evening.....

Christmas Eve night Sam, Tami and the grand kids came back to our house to stay so the kids would wake up and open up their Santa gifts and have Christmas morning. It was so wonderful having them all here. We just loved it! Dan fixed us all breakfast.( Even though it was his Birthday. I am going to celebrate his Birthday this next weekend in Portland ) It was so fun watching the kids open up their stockings and gifts. Haley came out and later in the afternoon we all went to to Todd and Dawn Ackley's to spend Christmas with more family. 

It was a totally stress free relaxing Christmas spent with family and friends. Thoroughly enjoyed ever minute of this Christmas :))
