Christmas

Christmas week is here and we are excited and happy. This year has been a wonderful one for us. Dane and Laura's wedding, Madeline and Peyton being born, Erik and Rachel moving to Phoenix with a good job, Kirsten getting her own place to live and sharing it when needed, Kydon and Shanna meeting the many challenges of their lives and sharing it all with us, my many trips to visit, Terry excelling on his bike and all of us growing and learning so much at this time of our lives. We are truly blessed and I want to express my love and appreciation to the Savior of the world at this special Christmas time. His atoning sacrifice made it possible for us to return to live again as families in the eternities. I hope we can always be grateful for this and strive to keep the commandments and be strong in making good choices so we can have the greatest gift that our Heavenly Father planned for us to have. Love you all and have a wonderful Christmas!!
