Christmas 2008

Since most of you have probably received our Christmas cards by now I thought that I should get out a Christmas letter. Our cards only had our blog adress and a Merry Christmas greeting, hence our letter will be here.

We have had a great year and I am feeling right at home with all the snow and cold weather, it has been so much fun and I do so LOVE the white Christmas. We have so many wonderful friends here in La Grande and can't picture ourselves moving from this beautiful place. Mountains, snow, nice warm summers, small town feel, what more could you ask for?

Here is a quick update on each of us:

Chas -Looking forward to having his Professional Engineering test over with in April!
- keeping busy with all the house projects and outside projects we have for him to do around here and of course his church calling
Teija - teaching piano lessons and keeping up with the kids
-excited for the baby to get here asap
Brooklyn -loves first grade and reading
- learning to play piano
Brady - loves playing with friends
- learning lots with numbers and letters
Emree - started talking and is so much fun
- potty trained!
We feel so blessed and love celebrating our Saviour's birth at this time of year. We are so grateful for His life, example and the opportunity we have to live with each other forever! May you all have a very Merry Christmas and have a wonderful new year!!
Love, Chas, Teija, Brooklyn, Brady, Emree and baby
