A Very Special Christmas Gift

Christmas 2011 was weird!  One of the very few times in my life - there was NO snow. Of course, it was nice; but weird.  I wanted to share about a unique gift we were given this year.  Let me explain.  Each year, since we have lived here in Iowa - our son in law's family has always included us in their entire family Christmas Celebration.  They are a very loving family - and welcome you as "family".   Fred and Ellie give gifts to everyone; even us, lol.  This year when their children gave them an envelope to open; we were handed the "same" white envelope from Jason and Britton. What?  Why?

   We were so surprised and thrilled.  They gave us a very special gift - a weekend away, doing something both couples love to do - explore museums, spend time together, laugh and relax.  Of course, now we have yet to "set a date" - but we will!!
