It's a Star Wars Christmas!
Darn sun!

Silly girl
Sydney and the girls
Keeghan and Timmy... writing letters to Santa in hopes of NO lumps of coal this year! ;)
The kids got to see Santa... and they were the VERY last ones because Santa had a special surprise for them...
WHAT could it BE?!
It's DADDY!!!!
Dad!!! You're back!
I got a hug in too!
They make the same faces lol
Daddy's girl
Even Santa wanted a Welcome Home hug! LOL
Santa... Soldier... Storm Troopers... it all fits, right?! LOL
Back together again! :o)
I almost didn't pull this off! I've been planning this with Robin who runs the Starlight Foundation for a couple weeks now, ever since I knew that Frank was coming home... THEN the powers that be in the Army really got in the way and messed us up with timing. I was so upset!! We had a Plan B scheduled, but thankfully, Frank's plane got in on time, the people running the show at Ft. Carson were short and sweet, and our friend Angel drives FAST!! hahaha It was all perfect timing!!! I have video too but that will have to come later... I'm going to spend time with my family! :)
Thank you to everyone who helped me make today happen!!! The kids are on cloud 9! :o)

So happy for you guys Renee. You have no idea how much I have needed something to smile about. It has been a rough weekend to say the least. How great that you got to have Santa give Frank to them. Hey, if there were any disbelievers popping up in Santa there that should have squashed that ;).
YES!!! So it all worked out in the end! Sooooo happy for you!! :)
Okay, bawling my eyes out at this post! So happy for you, and the kids. Enjoy every moment of this holiday together. <3

So glad that Plan B wasn't necessary. My favorite picture of all is of "Daddy's girl". Such security is felt when Daddy is back home! I bet it was a hard secret to keep!

I keep seeing stories like this on the news and keep thinking, why not Renee and Frank?! And now it was!!!!!!!! So happy for your family!!!!!!!
Checking in to see how you're doing and to let you know I'm still praying!
Psalms 73:23-26 Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand. Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.

So happy for you! I was hoping that was what the special surprise in the title was. So the donut of deployment is all green now?
Once again so happy for you all!
Finally tears of happiness after a weekend of sadness! Welcome home Frank!

Kass is totally Frank's "mini me"!!
So glad you were able to pull this off. Merry Christmas to the WHOLE Garcia family. :)
Yippee!!! Truthfully, I've been thinking about y'all, and wondered/hoped that Frank would be home for Christmas...I knew his deployed time was getting short, but wasn't sure how short! What a wonderful, perfect Christmas gift!!
Hugs from Nancy in CT...yeah, THAT CT...it's sad around here...but glad that Frank is home to hug his kids each night...I don't like letting my girl out of my sight!!!
THE BEST WELCOME HOME ON THE INTERNET YET.....OH my gosh I thought I read something at the beginning of you blog about him but I kept going through the pictures and thought maybe not.. and then that picture... as I am crying and trying to explain why I am crying.. I am SO happy Frank got home safe and you are together again.. Enjoy Christmas and hope he gets to stay home ALL of next year.. And Thanks for sharing your reunion....

Still smiling about this!
Oh the comfort of knowing that this life isn't all there is! Whatever happens, look to the Lord and His free gift of salvation! Praying hard!
John 14:1-3 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
