Hailey made it to Chicago today! She sent me pictures! Yay

I got ready and did my hair early.  Maddy came over around 8:45 a.m..  It was super cold and windy.  I hurried to the door to let her in quick.  She brought Bill a vanilla shake and me a peppermint mocha shake (one for her too).  She also gave me a yummy cookie from there.  Bill was still sleeping when she got here.  We had a nice visit and it sure was good to see her. Bill came out and he enjoyed the shake she brought him and was so happy to get it and visit too.  She stayed for about 1 1/2 hours.  Loved spending time with her.

We read our Bibles after she left and then packed stuff in the Jeep and headed to Rehvyn’s Birthday Party.  The first time I have been able to get in the Jeep since surgery.  Used a stool to get in with help from Bill.  He sure helps me a lot.  

When we got near Kenzie’s, the wind was really blowing the snow over the roads making it icy.  We got to pull up right by the door in the driveway.  Bill got the stool out and Rody was sweet and came to help me get in the house without my walker.  He’s like a Rock, so I didn’t have to worry about getting in safely.  Thank you so much Rody.  I really appreciate you and how kind you are.  The house was so cozy and decorated so nicely.   They took me and showed me the recliner that was mine to use for the day.  It was nice and comfy.  Travis was just so nice to me and had good Christmas movies I like all set up for me to watch.  He kept checking on me and coming into visit and make sure I had people in the living room with me.  So sweet!  Everyone was so nice and Vikki got my food for me, Kimmy helped hold things for me and reach what I couldn’t and Bill helped with what ever I needed too.  What a great family.  I didn’t take my walker in, so did some walking, but stayed in the chair quite a bit too.  

Everyone came except Jacob, Evan, Hailey, and Max.  Kenzie’s Omi and Poppy were there.  It was nice to see them.  Kenzie had made cabbage buns, pizza buns with turkey, pizza buns with no cheese and regular pizza buns.  She is a good cook.  They were delicous.  She made a great cup with pretzels, crackers, fruit and did too that was delicious.  She also made yummy lemon bars and parfaits.  And she made cupcakes (banana and strawberry cupcakes for Rehvyn’s candles and for all of us to eat.  Everything was so special.  We were stuffed when we finished. 

Rehvyn opened everything so sweetly.  He would open something and go play with it.  Then when told to go open something else he would open something else.  He loved everything and would take time to have Eli open them with his knife, then Rehvyn would play with them.  We got him a bus that plays the wheels on the bus.  He sure loved and was so cute with it.  He opened a riding John Deer tractor last from Omi and Poppi and he sure loved it.  He always went back to play with everything else though.  Such a cute two year old grandson.  

Rody and Bill helped me down Kenzie’s porch steps and back into the Jeep.  We followed Jack driving on the way home.  He did great.  When we got home we walked around, then put stuff away and then relaxed.  I went through my pictures and sent them to Vikki so she could post and just tag me in her post. She is quick to do that and I sure do appreciate her.
