Christmas Time

Hello, my Friends and Family!

It is the day after Christmas. We had a great time with our family and some of our good friends. Regretfully, time does not allow for us to spend time with everyone, but my thoughts and prayers were with many.

Regretfully I have been sick for the last couple weeks. We thought it was Strep Throat at first, but the anti-biotic didn't do any good. Christmas Time is not a good time to be ill. We have had to delay our trip up to International Falls in order to allow me time to heal. The boys are very disappointed, but we will be going in just 10 days. Hopefully they will survive that long.

Christmas Eve we went to church for the service with my parents and my friend Carolyn. Then she and her daughter Rachel came to my parent's for food and gifts. We had a wonderful evening. Then on Christmas morning, Grandma and Grandpa came over to watch the kids open their presents and then spent the day here playing games. (I bowed out to nap through the middle of the day. It is so good to have your Mom when you're sick!)

Today we all slept in and now the boys are getting ready to go tubing with Grandma and Grandpa. I just wish I were healthy enough to go too!

I hope that your Christmas has been wonderful as well. God bless you richly all through this new year!
