Christmas Day

Christmas Day 2013 was a fun day for all. It's great to spend time as a family and as an extended family. As a quote I heard this week said... "it's not what is under the tree that matters, but those that are gathered around it"

Christmas morning

Later in the morning we were able to call Jakob in Japan - it was so good to hear his voice and be able to speak to him in person....

Talking to Jakob....

We had 59 minutes to talk to him and spoke to him on speaker and also individually...

everyone enjoyed talking to him :)
