For the first time in our married lives, Wendy and I were not able to spend Christmas with our children. Our children. Hmm…Yes, they ARE our children, but now that they’re not with us this Christmas, it’s hit home more forcefully that they really are all grown up and on their own now. Which makes us all the more thankful for our surrogate family – our wonderful teammates.

Our whole team had a great time exchanging gifts with each other…

…and we were even able to tie in our team this year with so many previous years, by having them all sign our Christmas tablecloth.

Even though we couldn’t share this Christmas with our children, we have MUCH to be thankful for!
