Finally got around to posting some fall pictures. I really love this time of year. Photo taken near Sedona, AZ. 

Enjoy the playful moments!

I'll be home for Christmas......sort of! :)

I feel so blessed I was able to see my girls at the same time this year. It may not have been Christmas day, but "hey" who cares as long as they make it home and you get to..."savor those rare, special moments."

Jennifer was coming home (finally) so her sister (Jessica) and I came up with a plan. Man, were we sneaky! So what if we had to tell a fib here or there. The hardest part was when Jennifer would call and the others would have to be super quiet so as not to blow our cover. 

My main worry was about our big boy "Jack". (the cat)  He's very vocal during the day about his need for your affection. I knew if he started to meow while Jessica was on the phone with Jennifer, it was all over! We're talking days of this....crazy how some things work out.  

At one point I had to hang up on Jennifer, and go scold her sister out for making noise.  I called Jennifer back and she was like, "did you just hang up on me?" Nope, sorry, the call must have dropped. It's not a total lie, it happens sometimes. ;) 

The best part was when we went to pick her up from the airport. She wasn't going to expect her sister so I had her sit behind me facing the other way so we could still talk to each other. Then when Jennifer was walking towards me I got up and gave her a big hug, twirled her around so she wouldn't see her sister get up. Jessica then got up, turned around and yelled "hey, I bet you didn't think I was going to be here!" That moment was priceless. Jennifer just burst into tears and ran to her sister and said, "you lied to me!"

The whole time, THE WHOLE TIME?... (yep, pretty much) 

She was a little upset with us, but OH WELL! It was all for a good cause. 

From our family to yours....BE SNEAKY and have a very Merry Christmas!

Love, 

Kim, Leland, Jessica, and Jennifer
