Merry Christmas


Daniel, Anne, David, Katie, Emie, Sam and Andrew
Christmas 2010

This was our 3rd Christmas as a family of 9. We have some memories of the first, however; the second is the most memorable. Emie got sick - right in the middle of opening presents and that was only a prelude of what was to come. The past few days in MN for the kids have been illness free- fun and very relaxing - a few photos for you to enjoy.



David opening a motorcycle - love the look



Kids shopped for each other - Sam opening a gift.

Karen,

Your Christmas picture of the children is beautiful. We were apart this year for Christmas, since Tom and our oldest son were still in Eastern Europe. The good news is that Christmas day was Gotcha Day for Julia and next year we will all be together. They will be coming home on Thursday. Thank you again for your support while we were in country. It was a pleasure e-mailing with you. Happy New Year to you and your family.

That's a wonderful photo of your kiddos. I'll bet you had a wonderful Christmas, watching all your little/growing blessings enjoy theirs! Yesterday in church in AC, we enjoyed a wonderful brass quartet of young men before church started. I saw Karla across the aisle and slipped over to ask if any of them were your boys... didn't think so much about ages, just the fact that the one on the end looked like one of your twins. Instead, they were the four Brown boys, she said.
