Happy Holidays everyone! Hope your time with family and friends was grand. The Denver Units certainly had an amazing Christmas celebration --in 2 parts. First round was celebrated in Seattle with Matt, Janelle, John (and a pinch of Amy)! We had such fun and got in some great visiting and hugging. The second round was in DesMoines with Michelle, John, Sara and Lori. We did Christmas the traditional way with a church service and one Christmas gift on Christmas Eve (always PJs) followed by stockings and presents on Christmas morning. We feel so blessed to be able to share these special times with our kids, their spouses and grandgirls. We are looking forward the year 2010 and all it has to bring. Happy New Year to all!

Well we did it--We have moved into our new house. It was quite the adventure, but we did it! It will be well worth the effort of moving a gazillion boxes and rearranging furniture several times. Our house is just the right size and will accommodate several guests. We haven't hung too many things on the wall yet--we will wait awhile for that. We put a few snowmen out to celebrate the season and then on Saturday we are off to Seattle followed by some holiday celebrating in Des Moines. Life is so good. Happy Holidays everyone!
