Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!


This year has been so good to us...where do I begin? I thought I'd write the highlights as I've been reflecting on 2009 and all the many blessing the Lord has given us. We are so thankful for dear friends and family who bring so much happiness and joy to our lives. All our love during this Holiday time!

Sounds like a wonderful year. We enjoyed having your Dad here a few weeks ago. We stayed up WAY too late talking which was lots of fun! How neat that you made your own first turkey. We think of you often and pray that all is going well. All our love!!!!!

Sounds like it's been a memorable year! I have to laugh about the coat. Texas doesn't prepare you for the cold, that's for sure!
