Making Memories

It is a gift to be able to make memories with my mom and dad. This may be the last year they make the trip back to Michigan for the holidays. Our lives and our children's lives are so busy. Between jobs and other important people wanting a piece of our limited time together, it gets more difficult to be able to plan time to make those memories. Simple gifts I cherish include:

237. Making a pancake breakfast for my family and having everyone around the table, to eat it.

238. Baking cookies with my mom - those time consuming, special, once a year Christmas cookies, Butter Kiffels and Pecan Tassies.


239. Cristin making a special Polynesian dish, Lumpia(?) for our lunch. She even searched and made sweet and sour sauce from scratch!


240. Listening to Gramps and Chad play ping pong.

241. Gramps and Chad going on a long walk together.

242. Receiving unexpected photo greeting cards in the mail. People are so creative!
