Christmas in Washington

This Christmas Richard and I once again headed to Selah, Washington (Richard's hometown). It was quite the trip. We were first delayed in Salt Lake 4 hours because of weather. We flew into Seattle just in time to miss our flight to Yakima. Of course that was the last flight to Yakima that night. The airline gave us a discount to the Marriot, so we did not have to spend the night in a cold, busy and frustrating airport. Our stay at the hotel turned out to be very nice. Breakfast was ridiculously expensive though. We caught our flight the next day and made it to Selah safe and sound. As part of a growing tradition we helped the grandkids make gingerbread houses. They all did a wonderful job. Christmas morning came bright and early. We enjoyed a warm french toast breakfast and then opened gifts. My favorite by far was a memory game Richard made me. It features pictures of us from our first date all the way to Adelaide's first photo. It brought a tear to my eye. He is so wonderful and thoughtful. Richard opened a couple of presents before we left. I think he was pretty excited about his new games. The rest of our trip was spent having family dinners, playing games, watching movies and snow lots of snow. New Year's we munched and danced at Robert's house and played games. I still can't believe another year has flown by. It was a great one though and I'm so grateful for all my many blessings. This year will be just as wonderful I'm sure. Hope you all had a wonderful time this past season. Lots of love!
