Much to be Thankful for


As the Thanksgiving weekend ends, we have been reminded of how much we have to be thankful for (the 5 F's): family, friends, faith, fellowship, and food. As December begins and we look toward the Christmas season, we are grateful for all the blessings in our life. We all have our challenges at times, but this time of year we are reminded of the gift we were given with Jesus' birth. Our month will be very busy with the following activities: Ryan and Tyler's school Christmas program this Tuesday - the 2nd, moving this weekend - the 5th, 6th, and 7th (we think), Ryan's basketball games on Saturday's, Grant's dedication in church on Sunday the 21st, Christmas celebrations from the 23rd - 26th, and concluding the month and 2008 year with Grant's lip surgery on the 30th (we think -- not confirmed yet). With all the events and activities, our goal is to make sure and keep our focus on the reason for the season and the life we've been given through Jesus' birth. May you all enjoy the joyous season of Christmas!

Here are pictures of the house: outside, kitchen, living room, basement, and deck in back.
