So for Christmas this year we decided to go see my husbands family in Maine.
So we got our tickets and drove down to Las Vegas where we'd fly out from. My friend Cindy was kind enough to let us park our car at her house so we wouldn't have to pay the exhorbitant fees to park at the airport.
After a nine hour flight we were finally in Portland. Joe's Mom came to pick us up along with her husband John. We were able to visit with his family that night, and i was impressed with how many family members we were able to see during the following week.
We spent Monday at Grandpa Baileys. He is such a sweet old man!! He did everything he could to be a generous host although i think we wore him out. He fell asleep almost as soon as he sat back down. He played with Alaina and kept trying to show us his family album which he couldn't remember where it was. His wife passed away a few months ago and so we wanted to make it back before he was gone too. I'm so glad we did!!!
Tuesday we were able to take Alaina sledding for the very first time! I think she liked it best when joe just took the sleigh and dragged her.
Saturday we went to the Beeckel family reunion where we were able to see most everyone we'd missed during the week.
Joe has been truly blessed with his family relations and his Mom is an absolute saint!! I think this has been the best Christmas present he's ever had. He got to see family he hasn't in over two years... After all isn't that what Christmas is all about?
