Leaving family and Dubuque with more memories made

Leaving Dubuque at 10.20.  Such a nice time.  I’m so thankful Matt, Missy, and Luke’s families could make it.  MIssed Mandy and Jason though.  Hope they had a nice time at their work Christmas parties. I think there were about 55 at the Saturday get together.  Nancy -1, Craig and Marilynn - 2, Susan  B. - 5, Betsy H - 5, Julie F.-  4, Gail and B.- 2, Scott, Beth and Todd -3. Faith and Denny -2, Matt’s- 5, Missy’s 5, Luke and Karen -2, Jean and Arlan -2, Katie and E. -2, Christy- 1, Beth and Stephen- 2, Keith and Jane- 2, Justine and Kevin- 2, Nancy and Steve- 2, Bruce and Maynard - 2, Myrna and Dobbin - 2, Gerry and Linda -2 That Equals = 55   (Immediate family = 51)  Absent were Brad, Micki, Amelia -3, Mandy and Jason -2,  Barb, Katola and 2- 4, Ben and Becca- 5 Giving an immediate family total of 65 ( soon to be 66 with Brad and Micki’s arrival)  Thank you Jesus, we are so blessed.  

I woke up about 7:30 and went down to Tony’s where some family members were eating, Jean’s were leaving.  Our family came down to eat about 8.  Grands had chocolate chip pancakes and fruit plates, Brooks was so tickled to have hot cocoa.  Luke spent some time looking at the Mississippi with Kane.  Packing up was kinda of an unorganized mess, but I think we got everything loaded.  Now for the ride home,  Got a McD coffee for Denny and the tank filled with gas. :)
