On the third day of Christmas...

my true love and my family were blessed by the gracious hospitality of 2 of my college roommates and their families. Wow, did we ever feel loved and cared for. Both during our coming to and going from Georgia we spent time with the Taylors and the Pendergraphs. My girls loved connecting with their kids (8 kids... 7 and under... the adults are outnumbered and boy did it sound like it!). And I always enjoy time with my girlfriends. These are one of the awesome friendships that you don't need to spend much time in the back-story, because you already know it. These ladies have known me for almost 20 years... pre-teacher, pre-seminary, pre-wife, pre-motherhood. Love you gals!

Here is a clip of the energy level in Kim's house after we enjoyed a delicious lunch and dinner.

Kimberly's 2 kids are missing from the action as they had already left to go home to bed as this was a school night. This high energy romp was during our attempt to gather the rest of the crew to go back to Kimberly's for the night.
