Christmas in July

July 15, 2012 Lana

Have you blessed someone lately?
I just received the biggest gift.
Family at beach 2012
Family at the Beach
My brother and his family came for a surprise visit last week.
My heart is full.
This is the type of blessing that exceeds any type of Christmas present.
Brother and spouses
My brother, my sweet SIL, me and handsome hubby
We’ve lived here for almost 10 years and this is the first time they have came down to our area.
I was beyond excited!
Beach
My darling nephew at South Padre Island
They have 3 kids.  Talk about beyond precious!
Kids on the island 2012
All the kids at South Padre Island, Texas
We traveled to South Padre Island for some much needed Beach Time.  Love that we live close enough for visits to a beautiful island.  The weather was perfect!
Pirate and kids
Pirate’s Landing at Port Isabel, Texas
Then to a favorite Pirate restaurant for dinner.
As soon as they came – it was time for them to go home.
My heart is still filled to the brim with joy.  It felt like Christmas in July.  
Blessings to you!  You are loved!
