Christmas in Roanoke 2014

Last Wednesday we said goodbye to Grandma and Grandpa (for the winter) and to the Keanes (until who knows when) and headed northwest to Roanoke for Christmas celebration #3. We arrived by late afternoon with plans to assist Granny and Papa around the house since Granny had her hip replacement surgery on Christmas Eve and needs to take it easy for awhile. Charles cleaned the bathroom and helped Papa pick out and purchase a new reclining loveseat for the living room. I did laundry and helped with general straightening up and organizing.

That night was New Year's Eve, but Charles and I were both tuckered out and in bed by about 9:30. The next day Chris and the boys arrived just before noon, and we began the gift opening. Part of the gifts we gave were these two canvases that Charles and the girls painted for Granny and Chris. Can you tell whose is whose?

We stayed until dinnertime, when Papa took us out for a yummy meal at Lew's. The best part, as always, was having the chance to spend time with family. Here are other photos from our stay:
