A Wonderful Time of Year!

Since our last post (a LONG time ago) things have not slowed down one bit. Ashley celebrated her birthday on November 17th, Thanksgiving was next, Mikaela is now officially four, Christmas is in less than a week, and the boys will turn one in less than two weeks. In between all of that has been continued detective work for Chris, continued teaching work for Ash, holiday parties left and right, and wonderful fellowship at church. We have loved every minute of it, but there have been a few nights where we just crash after the last kiddo is tucked into bed. Braden and Karsten are getting closer to walking, but remain fairly content with the high speed crawl. As we look back on this year we cannot believe how God has chosen to bestow on us so many wonderful blessings. We are so grateful for the family we have and the friends which encourage us daily. As the 25th draws near we give glory to God for sending us Jesus. There would be no cause for celebration if Christ was not born, and yet God bestowed His grace on us through the perfect life (and eventual death & resurrection) of our Savior. Merry Christmas to all of our friends and family and have a wonderful new year!
