Welcome Home

Welcome December!!! Once this month begins I'm sure we all feel like it just doesn't stop until sometime in January. It is a good busy though and we always miss it when it is over. I hope in the middle of it all, you will take an opportunity to remember your Savior, Jesus Christ. I can only just begin to recognize all the blessings that have come to us this year and more are yet to come in this coming new year. Top on our list of blessings is each of you and the awesome choices you make each day. You are good people and we are proud of you. It is a pleasure to visit with and (when possible) spend time with you. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
Speaking of spending time with you ... our trip to TN was amazing. Tennesse is beautiful and Nashville has no shortage of fun things to see and do (Jeff, Tammy and Eli being our favorite Nashville attraction). It was so fun to celebrate Halloween with them and read "The Spooky Old Tree" with Eli over and over and over... (and yes, Anne, we read "The Pale Green Pants" a time or two as well). Jeff grilled for us...yummmm! We got to see where Jeff works and goes to school. We visited all the places we hear tell of when we Skype the TN Bylunds (Cheekwood, The Nature Center, Murfreesboro, The Grand Old Opry Hotel, Vanderbilt, the Loveless Cafe, the Nashville Temple,etc.). And we loved learning more about how and where you live. Thanks so much for welcoming us into your home (Tammy even insisted we sleep in her bed; now that's southern hospitality) - we had a great time.

Well, this week is finals week for our College students and the Holidays are just around the corner. It sure was fun having Mike and Becky home for Thanksgiving and will be equally as fun to have them home for Christmas along with Jeff, Tammy and Eli. Everyone stay safe and well - we love you. ...XOMOM&DADXO...
