Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2009. May the new year bring Peace in our hearts and homes. We were truelly blessed to have Rachel's fiance Johan join us this year with his mother Dorian and special friend Fred. They brought Dutch traditions to share with our family. The most special treat were the poems that they wrote to go along with their presents. This is a dutch tradition and they began with Rachel, then Fritz and all the rest of the family. It truelly was delightful. The creativity and thoughtfulness was beyond my wildest imagination. When I get a chance, I will share some of these. ....For now here are some pictures from our Christmas day. For New years they are all in Mammoth at our cabin and we off to friends....
