We've been in NC for six years. When we came we hoped/thought we would get to go "home" for Christmases, but that didn't happen. Multiple paycuts, lack of $, and young people needing to work got in the way of that desire. I feel guilty (because it's Rebekah, she feels guilty about everything- in case you hadn't already figured that out).
Anywhoo, a miracle occurred this year and all of our kids were able to get off of work for a few days at Christmas. All the kids also contributed to the cash needed to go home and we snuck off across country as soon as I got out of school and showed up on my parents' doorstep one night before Christmas to surprise them. :) And surprise them we did!!!! :) :) :)
To save yourself some time, watch the first few seconds (about 10) and then skip ahead to about 2:35 or so to see the g'parents get their surprise. :)

It was Zoe's first Christmas, so we hoped it would be an extra special Christmas for my parents. We were able to visit with them for a few days before heading down towards St. Louis to see Rob's mom and a few of my relatives in that area. What a trip- over 2,000 miles in total!
