The problem with being four months behind on my family blog is that it's snowing outside on this magical Christmas Eve, and I'm catching up on August... it's a little bizarre. But... another fun day out with the Hofmann's. They've proven to be wonderful family friends. Though we don't have kids all the same ages, there is someone for EVERYONE in both our little families. They are a blessing in our lives that has proven to be a rare gift. They talk of moving, but I know that our friendship transcends distance!
Coloring proved to be successful to distract this little girl... but it only worked for one Sunday... we will keep trying. Kolton says when he forgives others he feels happy.... Xiana loved having matching hair dos with her baby sister.
Uncle Wes and Aunt Myrna have continued with their tradition of joining us for the rib cook off since dad's death. Oh how we look forward to it! It is such a kind and generous offer on their behalf! They travel so far for a short weekend despite their own TEN children and 55! grandchildren. They still treat us like their own. We are so grateful! Kolton pretty much LOVES ribs and came into his own this year. Argenta mostly loves BBQ sauce, and for me the take away was the crab covered fried artichokes... yum!
