We had such a good holiday season. Erick loves the snow so we went tubing twice already it was a great time. All the kids and me included were going down the hill. We have had lots of snow just what Erick has prayed for. We spent Christmas eve with Erick's family and Christmas day with my family. It has been just so fun hanging out together. That is all we have wanted to do. Erick being here has been a dream. He is so helpful, he lets me sleep in, does the dishes, puts the kids to bed you name it. He has been helping me with his crossfit workout that he is really enjoying in Iraq. If you are looking for a new intense workout check out Crossfit.com. it posts your workout everyday. Erick is speaking to a youth group from our church tonight about his experiences over there so that should be exciting. He is also baptizing Kesli on Monday her birthday. So that will be neat as well. We love him so much and will be sad to say goodbye again. We appreciate everyone's prayers in his behalf. Happy New Years to all.
