Keeney Christmas

December 22-25:-
Keeney Christmas:
This Christmas was bitter-sweet. It was the first time Grandma & Grandpa Denick couldn’t make the trip over to Dallas from New Mexico. Grandpa Denick was in the hospital over Christmas. Thankfully, we can report he is finally back home with Grandma. David’s mom is staying for a while to help. Please continue to pray for everyone during this time.

The sweet part of Christmas was spending so much time with Kelly, Jonathan, & the kids [our niece, Emily & nephew, Thad]. We all had so much fun playing, talking till the wee-hours of the morning, and eating too many sweets.

We spent Tuesday at a mall nearby with Kelly, the kids, and Mom & Dad Keeney. Thad climbed a rock wall, while we all watched his bravery!! Both of the kids enjoyed playing in a “soft-play area.” (Everything is covered in foam & is kid-friendly & bo-bo proof.) We even managed to find enough space for us to eat lunch in the food-court. Dad got Emily the cutest little outfit (which she got to wear the next day for Christmas).

Christmas Eve lunch at Mom & Dad Keeney’s was delicious. Mom sent us home with her famous fruitcake. Dad told us about his 300 perfect bowling score he recently played. Everyone gave such thoughtful gifts. Of course, the kids’ excitement topped the afternoon off on a high-note.

Christmas Eve supper at the Lemons- Jonathan’s parents invited us over for dinner & fun. They made steaks, potatoes, salads……you name it, they had it. They are a jolly ol’ bunch & it reminded me of my own family. Needless to say, we fit right in!!
