New Years Fireworks

Posted byRoger and Jeanie

We took the two oldest boys to watch the early fireworks! In Oregon we could celebrate New Year’s Eve on New York time and go to bed early. Guess we went to bed early anyway, We just had no excuse!🤔

The fireworks were short and sweet!

This Christmas we decided to give each of the kids a special day with Roger and I instead of more stuff. It seems important to build relationships and create good memories. They were all so excited to have their special date with us! We love our grandchildren!
