It warms the heart to see old friends during the holidays!

Yesterday, my friend Madhu and family visited us in Flagstaff. Madhu and I worked together in Bartlesville. They were near Flagstaff vacationing in the area. We met for dinner at a local Thai restaurant. It was wonderful to catch up- like no time had passed at all! 

Zach is definitely on the mend. He has been playing video games online with friends. 

Another old friend, X-mas Rex, let us know that he was coming in for his annual Christmas visit. Ashton helped me prep his woodland hideaway in our front yard! 

This Rex is totally lit!!! 

Derek and I tried a new beer this afternoon while cooking an Asian feast. Two thumbs up on this unique brew! 



Chef Ashton helped prep egg rolls. Excellent job folding and frying!!!! 





We had a great time with Grandma Dixie enjoying our feast! This evening we enjoyed a fun family Christmas zoom session with Grandpa Randy, Grandma Peggy, Aunt Jenny, and Wyn! Stay tuned for more family celebrations tomorrow!
