home at last

My sister's flight had touched down on Thursday night, but it wasn't until this afternoon that my family and relatives got a chance to get together and truly celebrate her safe return home. Not only was this a welcome home party for her, but it was also a belated Christmas and birthday party for my sister. She had missed both of those events while she was in Iraq. Plus we had been told by the military to keep her gifts on hold so that we could give them to her personally rather than through the mail.
