25 more days....what else do we need to do?? 

Aunt Patsy and Uncle Bob

Steve's Aunt and Uncle (Grandma Linda's sister)---Bob and Patsy came to visit from Minnesota! and we were lucky enough to have them come visit us one night for dinner!

Patsy is known as "the little snow bunny" because one time when we were with them Paige went with Grandma and Patsy to Walmart and came home with a fuzzy,
white coat and Patsy sang a "little snow bunny song" to Paige! 
 Paige will never forget that song and will never forget Aunt Patsy!!

 

 YES!  Grandma Linda and her sister wore a MATCHING OUTFIT all day together.  NO---they are not twins!!  They claim they didn't plan it.  But, how funny is that!!!

Bob--playing guitars with the little kids!

Family---what a blessing!!!
