Christmas in West Virginia

After two glorious weeks of vacation, Greg and I made it back to Pullman, and back to work and school. We drove 42 hours (stopping only for gas and restrooms every 4 hours) back to West Virginia so that we could spend Christmas with our family and friends. We had a great trip, were blessed with easy traveling conditions (special thanks to all those praying we had good weather!) and got to spend (at least a little bit of) time with our favorite people. I managed to stick to my gluten-free eating, even though passing up Mom's hot rolls and Gram's whoopie pies took some effort - but I felt much better after meals this Christmas than I ever have! Here are just a few pictures from our trip:

Visiting Greg's Family in Summersville

Doesn't get much better than this!


I considered being really mean and knocking down some of that overhanging snow....


Greg pulling me behing the 4-wheeler on a dry-rotted tube.




Greg spent more time playing with Anthony's gift than with his own gifts.

Is that Moses??? ha, ha

The whole gang in Ripley





Dixie and Chloe.


The Heather Ross "Weekend Away" bags that I made as Christmas presents.

Thanks so much to everyone who housed, fed, and took care of us during our trip. We had a great time and can't wait to come back this summer!

Lindsey,
thanks for posting the pics. I have been anxiously awaiting for them. Dixie has it made! The tubing looked fun! Moses is my favorite! We were just thrilled to have you here and thankful too for the answered prayers all along the way. It was a wonderful Christmas! Love you and hope you are back REAL soon.
Love you,
Mom

I'm glad to see the smiles on all the faces. I think Chloe had the best one. Hard to believe how much she has grown. Gotta love those boxers. Sunny but cold here. Leaving to go take Mom and Dad to the denist and good ole Wallyworld. We'll talk soon.
Miss you every day.
Love,
