Like most of you, we spent many wonderful hours of play with friends. We didn’t travel for the holidays at all this year, so most our time was spent near home skating, tubing, skiing, and-yes-dog mushing! We will help a friend from Spirit (next villiage east) run his seventeen or so dogs again this winter. People come from all over to stay in a cozy cabin on his property and experience dog mushing. Last year, we even hosted a family from England!
The kids went skating- John Henry, Moriah, Nellie and another Mariah we borrowed
We are excited to be able to communicate more fully with friends and family this way! We have a wonderful friend and co-worker who made it possible- thank you Jesse! Like all of you, we have been busy getting ready for Christmas and struggling to keep the hectic pace to a dull roar in order to appreciate the meaning of the season. We pray that you will find the joy and peace we celebrate this time of year! Here are a few fun moments we’ve had…
We found our tree at a locally famous tree lot…
and decorated it in our humble (yet sophiticated) living room.
