Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

Well the leaves we piled up have been replaced with even bigger piles of snow-- just in time for a White Christmas. Good thing we have a plow truck, or it would have taken a couple of weeks to shovel the driveway.


Before we go any further, please take a moment to visit Tommy's blog at http://www.prayfortommy.blogspot.com/. Our nephew, Tommy Hasleton, has been diagnosed with Leukemia. He is a very tough little 4 year old, who we love a ton. We know he is on track to make a swift and complete recovery, but we would appreciate your thoughts and prayers on his behalf. WE LOVE YOU, TOMMY!!!


As we move into the holiday season, we reflect with gratitude on our Savior's birth, His life, and the rich blessings He gives us. The Savior devoted His life to helping and blessing the lives of others. Let us each use this season of joy and hope to dedicate ourselves to following our Savior's example, and do our part to spread joy and love to our fellowmen. We, as a family, have been very blessed this year. We have a job, we are all healthy and well, and we have a warm house to live in.


This time of year always makes us think of family gatherings, spending time next to the fireplace, Christmas carols, and seeing the beautiful lights and decorations. The snow is deep and the weather outside is cold, but the love we feel in our home warms our hearts. We wish you were here with us.


May each of you enjoy time with family and friends this holiday season.


Merry Christmas!!

Janna! It's good to see that you made it out there to Michigan. I'm so thrilled for you that you sold your home and that you are all together. I'll miss seeing you on Sundays but it sounds like life is good for you and I'm happy to hear that. Loved your Christmas card. Take care and Merry Christmas!

It's Tom again I just wanted to let you know that you need to update your blog. We'd like to know what's going on in your lives. We might drop by your place this summer depending on how Tommy feels. Yes, I just invited myself. We'll talk to you soon.
