Greg & Tanya Farrell: Christmas at Grandma and Grandpa's

Saturday morning after Christmas, we headed to Greg's mom and dad's house in Shelbina for Christmas with his family. Unfortunately, due to the winter storm, Greg's sister and aunt weren't able to make it to town so Greg's grandma postponed her Christmas until the next weekend. We had Christmas at Greg's parents house with his two brothers and their families. When we left our house, we had to travel north on our gravel road in order to travel back south because our road was drifted full to the south of our house! As we got further east, we saw less and less snow, but by the time we got to Shelbina, it was snowing there! We had a great time visiting with the family. Greg's cousin and her kids as well as his aunt and uncle came to visit, so we got some good talking in. We also spent several hours Saturday afternoon playing Phase 10. The first game, Marshall sat and watched. The second game he wanted to play! He did a great job! In fact, Sunday morning, he wanted to play and was trying to teach Maggie!

Sunday afternoon before we left, we went to Greg's aunt and uncle's house and visited with their youngest son, his wife, and their baby. We hadn't seen him since he was born in June! It was great to finally get to meet the little guy! He is a cutie! We couldn't visit long because Morgan was supposed to have a ballgame in St. Joe later that day. However, shortly after we left, we got a message saying that his ballgame had been cancelled. So, we got to come home and hunker down for the night!

Maggie anxiously waiting to open presents!
