Merry Christmas! As usual, our gifts have been shipped a little late, our Christmas cards are a bit behind, and we are all surprised at just how fast late December has come; but, as usual, we love you all and miss you with every ounce of ourselves. We are thinking of you today, sharing memories of Christmases passed, and planning for seeing family in the future. It is true that we are focused on Christ today and all through the year, filling our thoughts with the grace and love that is the gift of our savior, but we truly know that sharing this season with family brings so much special meaning and value to the purpose of Christmas. Being away we miss so much of that! To help, we'll fill our thoughts with you as we celebrate this Christmas and enter this New Year with memories of family and thoughts of chances to get together soon to come! That is certain. Merry Christmas. We love you all! These are a few pictures to update you on the fun that has been filling our days (and to tide you until your Christmas cards arrive!).
Our love, Monica
