Merry Christmas!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Sometimes you JUST KNOW that something isn't going to get done... Well, that's the way I feel about our yearly Christmas Card. It just isn't going to happen this year. I'm not quite sure why. Am I not in the Christmas Spirit? Who knows???

In a very impersonal way, our blog will act as our Christmas Card this year. In summary...

Mike turned 60 this year, but honestly, doesn't he look 50!?!

So, it looks like nothing has changed... or has it?!?

The one thing that hasn't changed is our love for our Savior, Jesus Christ and our gratitude for his sacrifice and atonement. We are also grateful for our family and friends. Thanks so much for being part of our life! Merry Christmas!!!
