Here are a few highlights of our times spent together.
Reading the Christmas story from Luke on Christmas Eve.
We spoke with Daren on Christmas Day. He sounds so good and is loving Virginia, the people and sharing the Gospel. We miss him but couldn't ask for a better gift than having a missionary. 
We live close to both sets of Grandparents and love having them over to visit and eat. That is a wonderful blessing to all of us.
Our children are the most important thing to us. We love spending time with all of them. We were all very spoiled (or "loved" as Steph puts it) this year for Christmas.
Scott even built Rusty a new doghouse for his present.
Doug decided to surprise me with my own 4-wheeler for running around the farm. Then we found a boat unexpectedly and I made a deal on it. Needless to say, we have been blessed with more than enough. Although these THINGS aren't as important, we will enjoy them with the family. The boys can't wait to put the boat in water.
