This year was a really great Christmas...I feel guilty saying it was the best Christmas ever. I feel like i shouldn't say that because Chase isn't here with us but I truly believe that is why it was the best Christmas ever...we have our son out in the mission field serving the Lord. WE got some nice gifts but Christmas this year was much more simple than usual. the best thing about it was that not one of our kids complained that there wasn't as much as usual! Chase is doing great and is so excited to leave the MTC on the 30th and like he said..."be a real missionary". He had said he might get to call on the 30th so we are excited about that. We didn't get a phone call on Christmas because they are not allowed to call from the MTC.

Well, we hope you all had a Merry Christmas and look forward to a great New Year!
