The Christmas Letter that never happend - first draft :)

Day after Christmas, 2009

It is quiet in the house.  6:45am.  I have been up for a bit.  Folded some laundry, check my email and facebook, read some twitter posts, made some updates to my address book, and thought about Ghengis Khan.  Now that guy could lead. 

I have not done the blogging/jounral thing in awhile.  I think I need to return to it in 2010.  It is hard to make time, but time seems to fly by "unrecorded" and "unobserved" if I don't do something.

Didn't write a Christmas letter this year.  If I had I would have talked about things that happened each month, like all good Christmas letters do...

Jan - The big 4-0.  Mark turned 40

Feb - Annika's birthday, and she attended a Revolve Conference.  Britta sang in a school choir concert.

March - We had 175 at Easter Service, which we held at Stony Creek Elementary School.

April - Britta's birthday.  Mark, Annika and Britta skied the last day of the season at Loveland, using passes purchased in Nov.

May - Annika finished up 6th grade. 

June - Attended BGC meetings at Bethel

July - Traveled all over - Jefson reunion in Iowa, Heidi and girls spent time in Montana, while I went to Brazil again. 

Aug - Norseman Quartet reunion in Montana. 

Nov - Church celebrated its two year birthday.

Dec - Britta performed in her second Colorado Children's Chorale

Typically, these end with some kind of "Have a great Christmas Season, and remember that we can live without fear because God has sent his son to save us."
