Once upon a time
back in 1979 in
Grand Haven, Michigan
Nikki and I met, she was 4 and I was 3.
Our moms were pregnant with our sisters whom
were born a month apart from each other
Our moms were best friends, we became best friends
and our sisters best friends.
And so it all began.
My last blog post was on our 5th Thanksgiving together
Here is a look back at the last 5 years together as families
over Thanksgiving

We never left home with out Peyton's travel

Kiddos all snug in the bunks

This was an easy year, Preston would
not touch the sand.
Adult relaxing time, with a little arm wrestling
The Boys

very well during each vacation.

We even meet new friends,
Jon actually saved his daughters life in the pool, then
he was so kind to buy many many shots, then a bottle of tequila for our husbands.
That evening they both ended up in bed pretty early.
