Christmas Eve 2013


 “Be not afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of a great joy which will come to all the people; 11 for to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. Luke 2
The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light,
And upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death
Light has dawned.”   
Matthew 4


Still hanging Christmas Lights outside and around the house (uff da!). We are a bit behind the decorating curve this year. The lights transform the cold snow outside and warm the interior of our home. They illuminate the decorations set in all their special Christmas places reminding us that the Light of World, Jesus desires to push back the darkness with His Holy Presence. Jesus the Light is our Christmas present. Be blessed by the Light that shines into our world born that wonderful night in the manger of Jesus in Bethlehem.

Our Christmas Blessings of 2013

The Light of Jesus has shown brightly on our family this year

v  Whitney and Colin are expecting!
v  Big brother Easton is two and half. He loves trucks and truck noises. All boy!
v  Justin and Amy celebrated their 8th Wedding anniversary.
v  Haakon is a kindergartner and growing up to fast. Hockey is his passion.
v  Jaelyn is two and half too. She sparkles with that little girl spirit. Loves her “babies”!
v  Jaelyn and Easton are in the same daycare. They are a special twosome. She makes Easton play dolls and he makes her play trucks.
v  Brian and Kelly are both working on the west side of town. Still living close to us and car pool each day together.
v  Mother Olga celebrated her 95th this year. Lives alone, balances her own checkbook and is still “fiercely independent”!
v  This summer we had a family reunion/95th birthday celebration for Aunt Edna and Olga. The past met the present in a moment we will never forget.
v  We had a wonderful get together of Lindsay’s friends and family to remember her 10 years since her joining the “land of the Living”.
v  In September Tedd had his 5 yr. lymphoma follow up at Mayo and went from a smoldering lymphoma to no evidence of any active disease.
v  Lois is a wonder grandmother and wife who is always thinking of ways to help and bless her family. She is a gift to us all.
v  Our Lucy is 12 yrs. old and still loves to play ball and sleep with us in bed “when allowed”! Lucy keeps us smiling with her playful spirit even at 12!

Merry Christmas and all our love!
Lois and Tedd
