We wanted to fill the last night in our Henderson house with fun memories. We were all exhausted from loading trucks and it was late at night, but we just couldn't pass on one last game of hide-n-seek. We turned off most of the lights and played in the dark because the house was empty without furniture to hide behind. Both Wing and I have to admit that we were a bit scared when it was our turn to be the finder. Parker hid in the back shadows of the kitchen cabinets when I was it and scared my bum off when he suddenly poked his head out from the creepy shadows. Wing screamed like a girl when he found Kate and I in the pantry with our monster hands up ready to grab him. Grace thought she was a spider girl and climbed up the towel closet to the top shelf before revealing herself and freaking out the rest of us. CREEPY! Wondering how Kate did? Wing put her on the top shelf in Grace's closet and when I opened the door she giggled so hard that I almost fell over!
After our hearts were done racing from the spooky hide-n-seek game, we took one last foot bath in the backyard pool and watched the airplanes fly over our house between the twinkling stars and said our goodbyes by sharing some of our favorite Henderson stories.
The last bit of fun was spent having a sleep over on our air mattresses downstairs. After all of the days excitement, the kids had a rock solid nights sleep. What a great way to end four wonderful years.
We will miss our house, but are grateful that Heavenly Father has blessed us with the miracle of togetherness. A house is just a box to put your most beloved things in. Our house held our most valuable possessions... Family. Who could ask for anything more?
