Visit to Henriksen Family

Before leaving for Washington we were able to stop by and visit the twins. They are so cute! We had a fun time reading. Henry and Emma can both repeat the words after I read them. Emma liked to point out the pictures that she already knew the words to, like cake, cookies, present, shoes, and some others. Henry liked to show us how he can dance! They both liked showing us their toys, especially a nativity set and a new table with chairs. And they both liked to share their teddy grahams (cookies) with me.

Christmas in Altus

We had an early Christmas in Altus. Raddy got a new bed from the Chaney's and he is really enjoying it! From the start he knew it was his and he started using it right away.
Grandpa and Grandma Chaney came over. After opening gifts and eating we played games. We had a great time.

Montvale Hotel at Christmas

This hotel was great. The room was large and pleasant-looking. The atrium was great and decorated so nicely for Christmas. I took a picture of the Christmas tree in the center of the atrium. Breakfast was served in a restaurant next door that was connected to the hotel downstairs. Brian really liked this restaurant because of the atmosphere. The brick walls were decorated with hanging tapestries and there was a cozy fireplace. We had a really nice experience.

Holiday Trip

We had a great time in Washington! I have lots of stories and pictures to share so I will be posting them as time allows. This was the best trip that I have had to Washington, and I'm already missing my family so much!
Thank you again, Mamaw, for the wonderful gift of seeing all of you!

Prayer Request

Please pray for my advisor, Dr. Jon Scales and his wife Jennifer. She had a thyroid surgery Friday, and today she was not doing well. I'm sure they are both under a lot of stress right now and not feeling well.
