Christmas in July

One weekend in July,

we went camping at Dad's

family's ranch for a

Christmas in July celebration.

Grandma and Grandpa

had the place decked with

boughs of holly and lights.

Dad loves being at the ranch,

and he has many

happy memories from

being there as a child.

Grandpa enjoyed sitting

in his throne chair

and overseeing the events.

You loved camping in the trailer,

seeing your aunts and uncles,

and all the fun activities,

including a drive-by visit from Santa Claus.

We are thankful we got to have
this time together with family,

and we are grateful to
Grandma and Grandpa for
organizing and planning it all.
