Christmas

Christmas was pretty quiet this year but thanks to mom, dad and grandma it was still a nice few days. We sure did miss having the excitement of kids, wrapping paper diving and Christmas mission! My dad's highlight had to be rigging up our TV so he could watch the Giants beat the Jets.
My mom's highlight was not having to cook.We went out to eat. Grandma loved the company.

My highlight was having the support of my parents and a new piece of jewelry. Can you see what it is? Ordered all the way from Afghanistan.
I got a quick update about Ryan's Christmas and it doesn't sound too fun. He was on guard duty so he missed the food, his packages didn't arrive since he switched companies and he had to go out to the strong point. It just makes me more and more grateful for our soldiers and what they sacrifice so we can celebrate freely. I'm also very thankful for my Savior who is watching over and protecting those we love. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year's to all.

Here's some of our happenings up in the North Country. And if you thought we were patriotic before, take a look now. We acquired a giant flag (it goes from our living room to kitchen, covering our entire couch).
