Merry Christmas!

Yes, it was a beautiful White Christmas here in Medford Oregon. It started snowing Christmas night and looked like this the next morning. :) I love snow! :)

We celebrated Christmas Saturday, 22 December so didn't have the snow then but that was good as Amy and Paul had to travel back and forth on I-5. We were so glad to be able to get most of the family together. Andrew and Kristina didn't make it down for the celebration and we missed them a lot but otherwise we had a great time. We visited, laughed, ate too much (a Ross tradition), played games, and just generally relaxed. It's so fun to see my nieces and nephews all playing together and having a good time. Aaron was able to come down with my brother and his wife which was really nice as I haven't seen him for something like 2 years.

Amy and her husband and kids also came down and it was fun to see her kids playing and having a good time with Aaron and their other cousins. Later in the day, Carsen, Alexander and I curled up together and watched Alexanders new Veggie Tales movie.





We went to church on Sunday and had a great service in the gym. All the services were combined so it was nice to see several folks I haven't seen for a while.

I love this time of year - it's so beautiful and everything looks so clean when it first snows - kind of like how we look after we accept the gift that God gave us, the very reason we're celebrating. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with family and friends and that the peace Jesus came to bring lives with you thru out the new year.
Blessings,
