OK, SO YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME! YES, IT'S SNOWING IN NEWBERG, OREGON! THEY CLOSED THE SCHOOLS ALL WEEK AND NOW THE STAKE LEADERS CANCELED CHURCH FOR ALL THE OUTLYING AREAS! AND ME, I'M STAYING COZY WARM IN MY NICE JAMMIES (ACTUALLY I'VE BEEN IN MY JAMMIE FOR TWO DAYS WITH A ROTTEN COLD) AND EATING SPRING ROLLS (NO, JUST THE FROZEN KIND) AND ENJOYING THE ROAR OF A BLAZING FIRE (WELL, ,THE ROAR IS ACTUALLY COMING FROM THE JOHN WAYNE WESTERN ON THE TV AND WE DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE A M FIREPLACE, BUT THE GLOW OF THE CHRISTMAS TREE LIGHTS (WE DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE A CHRISTMAS TREE, ONLY THE LIGHTS) AND THEY SORT OF GLOW AND THAT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE I SHOULD BE WARM! MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Merry Christmas to all! We love our beautiful family and hope that you have a wonderful Christmas and a safe, healthy New Year! We have had a fun, eventful year, and are grateful for our many blessing. We enjoyed our two years in China and miss the nice people we met and grew to love while there. We are grateful to be back home and near our family. Our greatest blessing is our beautiful children, grandchildren, beautiful mother, and wonderful brothers and sisters who also have some really great kids! We are so lucky to be part of this wonderul family! I'm also grateful for our Savior and so grateful he came into the world to fulfill his mission and that because of his sacrifice and suffering on the cross we can be together as a family in the eternities. I'm thankful that I have the example the Savior gave me so I could live a happier, better life, and for the Holy Ghost, which guides me on a daily basis, even when I don't listen. Merry "Christ"mas to you all!


Love you, Aunt Lynn
