December 1 to December 4, 2016

The Best Christmas Ever!!!  Rebecca came for a visit.   She got here at midnight on the 1st of December and she flew home, today, the 4th of December.  I had called her a few months ago and said, "I need me some Rebecca time!!"   She took time out of her busy, hectic schedule to come see us!     I was one happy momma!!
 It was well past 1 am, but that didn't keep us from having our picture taken!   Oh happy day!

 Walking down to Tower Hill....
 Preacher rock......
 Coming back from Preacher Rock...
 Leaving Tower Hill...
 Far West.....
 Standing in front of the Log Cabin at Independence VC....
 Rebecca couldn't wait to get home and tell Troy that she wanted a cabin just like this one!
 Rebecca's Cabin......
 This is the play area for the children....
 You're never too tall to play in the Children's Cabin....
 "Those look like real chickens!"   Rebecca.  "Well they sure do!"  Elder T.
 Independence VC.    Mother/daughter bonding!  This is the best Christmas Present....being with Rebecca!

We were so sad to see Rebecca go home.   But we were also very grateful for the time we got to spend with her.

When your children are younger, you get to be with them every day, seven days a week!  The joy of watching them grow up and develop their individual personalities is the greatest thing ever....then every once in awhile, you ask, "Will I ever get some alone time just for me?"  All of a sudden they grow up and leave home, and being with them every day is a thing of the past.   They start their own families and have their own lives,  and you see them less often.   But you are so grateful for the times you get to spend with them!   Actually, you cherish the times you get to spend with them!!

In an instant, they are gone!  And you say:

PLEASE...ONE MORE DAY!!!!  I love you Rebecca!!
