Hello from Lake James.....arrived here late Monday afternoon. Drove thru a bunch of rain but thankful we left Sunday after hearing all the tales of bad ice storm at home. This Christmas week weather has wrecked havoc all around the country! Prayers for all the victims and their families. I mentioned on Sunday about all the water (lakes) we saw as we traveled thru southern IL from major flooding. Yesterday we heard that a family of 5 died when their car was swept away near
Marion, IL.
The boys and Blair showed off their new Christmas gifts and we played doctor, beauty shop, and many other new toys - sooo much neat stuff out there these days! Enjoyed some delicious steak nachos for dinner.
Tearing into presents with Grandpa
This morning Mark drove to Newton to get Daisy and bring her to the lake. We'll spend some time getting Toad unloaded, Daisy organized and ready for trip to FL (taking gifts, and other stuff to Luke and family). But till then, going to settle in and enjoy our NC kiddies!
In fact, this morning Grandma crawled into the princess castle (tent) and played with the Velcro vegetables (another cute gift). Not sure how many times Grandma will be going in and out of the castle, but once inside, we had so much fun! Worst part is getting out and back on my feet! Ha....not exactly designed for grandmas and grandpas!!!

The stockings
All of us except Grandpa went to Camp Lake James for lunch, the boys played soccer and Michael and friends wen for a boat ride - December 29h!!! Got a bunch of stuff unloaded from Toad and Daisy - still a ways to go to get organized but there's always tomorrow.
Michael and Brooke went to "happy hour" with friends and Grandpa and I held down the fort!
