 The girls had their holiday concert today and Bridget made sure there was a surprise guest on hand. She picked up Aunt Jean and brought her there. With Grandma Weide also being on hand, it was nice for everyone. Afterwards, Aunt Jean got to stop by her house and enjoy some time there as well. Here's an account of the day I received via email:

Today was the Christmas program. We watched the three Weide girls sing with their classmates. Nice program. The girls looked very cute and were glad to see us.

Then we drove her back to the cottages. As we passed F street, I mentioned that we should have driven by her old house.  Bridget got off the Kennedy Freeway on L street and we drove back to 4109. We drove down the alley and through the school grounds and by the front of the house. We parked in front so Jean could check everything out and the front door opened and a girl looked out.  We waved and she went back in and got her sister and they came running out.

They were so surprised to see Jean and fussed all over her.  Bridget took a picture of them with her and then the school bus stopped in front of the house and the little brother got off and came over to see Jean and then went in the house.

Bridget forwarded the picture to Patricia's phone so she could prove to her mother that Jean was really there. She has kept in touch with Jean ever since they first moved back to Texas and then back to Omaha. She said they love the house. It is so big! Her dad is going to put some rooms in the basement.

Jean said it was one of her best days.  She called tonight and said she was tired but was so glad she got out to go to the program and her house.
