Merry Christmas to all!

Merry Christmas to friends and family all around the world! We wish you all the best in 2009 as well. We are so thankful for the time we have had in the US and Canada! It was great to see so many family and friends. Thank you everyone for making our furlough such an encouragement and for blessing us in so many ways!
We are spending Christmas in BC with our friends, the Smids. Ben, Sharla and Chiara have also joined us here. There is lots of snow so many are enjoying the slopes and Oma is enjoying very special time with Chiara.
We miss Shawna and wish she could be here but she is spreading Christmas cheer through the friendly skies as she left Florida this AM, traveled to DC and then on to San Fransisco!(At least that is what she is scheduled to do!) We had about a week together last week as Shawna had most of the week off.
This year we are once again reminded of how thankful we are for Jesus, the reason for celebration and joy!
We hope you enjoy a few pictures from our Christmas, 2008. There will be more to come so stay tuned!

Merry Christmas Jessie and `Doris and your family. It is nice to see your pictures. You are doing a great job of keeping up the blog. We are about to go to the Olson's for post-Christmas "family" get-together. We will miss seeing you there. Your little Chiara is a doll! Enjoy the snow!
