“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
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
