Being in the military, friendships develop past the point of being friends... they become a form of extended family. Joe & Koreen's family has been there for us in ways that we never imagined possible, and our friendship has become one that will last a lifetime. It only seems natural to spend the holidays together when we're both in town. The boys have really grown to love them. And did I mention they are GREAT gift givers? :)

There were many food tents, blow up children's play areas and live bands at the Celebration... but we decided to camp out to the side with chairs & blankets where we could listen to the music & talk. We brought a football and baseballs with mitts to throw around. We also had a great seat for the airshow (the Silver Wings jumped and a cool Black Hawk demonstration) and the fireworks.
