My sweet parents...

My Dad rocks and my Mom is pretty cool too! My family all live at least 3000km away from here. I have three siblings, all of whom my parents see every day. My sister lives across the street from my parents and all of them work for my Dad's company. I get back once a year. I try for twice but it doesn't always work that way. I was there in August for a week and was saving up to go next August when we have a big reunion on my Dad's side. Not planning a Christmas visit, although I have spent some time trying to find a way to swing that too.

My Dad called yesterday. He's a gruff ol' farm boy with a soft heart. "If I send you the money, can you come home for Christmas?" I just booked my ticket for December 22-28!

Stuart hates the holidays and is quite happy to stay home with the critters. Last year he didn't even take the day off work! His Dad is here so if he wants to he does have someone to hang out with for the day. Lots of our friends will invite him for dinner(he won't show up, but they'll ask). I haven't been with my family for Christmas since before my youngest niece was born! I am so looking forward to spending Christmas with some little ones around!

Hehe, aww, that's sweet! :D

Your dad sounds a lot like my dad! :D

You are definately going to have a Very Merry Christmas!!!
How Wonderful!!!!!

Awww, how nice! Hugs to them both!

You must have awesome parents glacier...look at what a big heart you have. I am so happy for you, nobody is more deserving.

It must be super nice to have parents like that.. You are blessed to have them!

That sounds wonderful! How nice.

Aww, that is so sweet!! Your parents sound great!!

I don't even remember the last Christmas I had with both of my brothers home, I was probably about 5 or 6. :( :o

I'm sure everyone will be glad to have you home! :)

You are very, very lucky. Enjoy.....

You got to love them farmers they love those daughters. Have fun sounds like a great way to spend your christmas.

That is so awesome!
I grew up in such a loving home that it always broke my heart when my friends "hated" their parents or didn't want to be bothered for whatever reason.
I'm so thrilled for you! With all you do, you deserve it. I sure do miss my folks a lot! I was a daddy's girl and could do no wrong! :D
Here's early wishes for a wonderful holiday!!!!
