Christmas in September


Christmas came early this year.  
Grandma and Grandpa Bartel showed up and took the kids to the park for over an hour.  
Ryan and I did not go on a date, watch football, 
have a calm relaxing dinner, sit down for a nice chat, or go shopping.  
We did something even better....a mad scramble to clean the house.  
Maybe its sad.  Or maybe its just reality.  But a straightened-up house is so so so good for my soul.
Then they took us out for pizza.  
You could put a bow on that.  
Grandma and Grandpa, can we do it again SOON?!
