We had a second Christmas the night that we arrived to the Blatchford house. It was great! A lot more toys, trinkets, gift cards and clothes to be had by everyone! We spent the next day hanging out & did some sledding. The day after that Andy had to leave to head to Chris' funeral in Mesquite, NV. He said the funeral was very well done. When Andy returned he had a nice day of skiing and we also headed into town to visit Grandma Ruth Blatchford. She seemed to be holding her own, and in fairly good spirits, after the death of her husband in late November. She also really seemed to enjoy meeting June for the first time & visiting with Lincoln again. Despite her good spirits, her body is old and giving up, so we don't really expect to see her again (on this side of the veil anyway). It was hard saying goodbye this time, knowing that it will likely be our last. We did get a picture of her with both kids though (see below), so that will be something nice to keep for the scrapbooks.
We spent several more days hanging out & enjoying the comforts of home & company of family. We did some more sledding & then finally headed for home on Jan. 4th. It was a lot of fun to spend so much time with family, but it was also nice to be back home. :)
