I went down to pick up grandma and grandpa. We brought them over for our christmas day lunch. Grandma told me she had taken a shower. She lied. She was wearing yesterday's clothes. I couldn't get her clean, but I did get a new shirt on her!
this is just so grandpa glenn. He's reading our family letter. (with his impeccable eye sight he would say. At home he would be using a magnifying glass the goof!).
dinner at moms. always delicious. this year she made a dish great grandma heiner would make - potatoes with cream and garlic. very german.
Here we all are listening to my mom read a journal entry from my dad's mission journal. he is a good writer.
Jill holding sterling. she loves the little babies.
