"All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: "The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel" --which means, "God with us." Matthew 1:22-23
What a wonderful Christmas season it was, giving thanks to the King for sending us our Saviour. Casey and I were blessed to be able to spend time with all four of our parents and one brother, Matthew. Lukey was the only missing piece as he has new responsibilities in Vail, CO working on the mountain. We missed you, buddy, and are already looking forward to our Christmas together next year.
Seeing that pictures often describe adventures better than I ever could with words, here are a few to show you what we've been up to the past few weeks...
Christmas morning in Ione...
Farmer Matt
True country boys.
That's right. I ride dirt bikes. (Or at least on the back of one while Matt drove)
Christmas morning... very awake and very fresh, as you can see.
Ward men love each other.
Our early Christmas celebration with Mom and Dad in Seattle before our trip to Ione
I think I formed a bruise when I fell off the sled...
Casey and a few of his Young Life kids... Saturday sledding
Jingle Bell Dash with ShaunaAnd now we return to work, cleaning house and paying bills... praying that the awe we feel inside regarding Christ's birth will not fade, but rather grow with each day.
