A Christmas to Remember

Hello All,

Here we are at Mike and Barb's wishing you a Merry Christmas!!!

Growing up, Christmas has always been about having the whole family together. That of course becomes harder as you get older and move away from your family. It also gets infinitely more complicated as your family grows by twice as much or more when you get married. Right now I can think of family and friends we miss and would love to see in more than 8 states and even a few different countries. To all of you we miss you and wish you a very Merry Christmas.

This Christmas has been wonderful, Kristi and I have been able to see so many of the people we know and care about. We have visited with people at church, housegroup, and receptions and have been going almost non-stop. But it has been worth it and all of you have been such an amazing blessing on us. This trip has again highlighted to me just how important community is and how building meaningful relationships personally and as a couple helps us to grow.

I hope Santa brought all of you what you were hoping for and please give each other big hugs from us.

Lots of love from all of us here in Wisconsin!
