METANIA IN 2014 !!!

new year's eve 

at the groendyke home

is simple.

never out to late night parties,

getting gussied up to welcome 

in the new year.

we prefer

home.

cozy.

rested...

maybe a party hat or two.

this year

mom and dad

planned to celebrate

with grandma garff

on good ol' devonshire circle.

an invitation was extended

and we gladly accepted.

the marriott

had prepared mini reuben, tuna, 

and egg salad sandwiches

cheese and crackers

fruit and veggie platters

wonderful desserts

so it took us two trips

to deliver the goods,

it was well worth it.

grandma's home

looked festive.

we speak a bit louder

and the visits

filled with laughter.

the word of the year

METANIA 

meaning change.

chelle issued a challenge

via phone

"come unto christ and be perfected in him"

dad poured the sparkling cider

and each took a turn toasting in the new year

HAPPY 2014
