Can you believe it is December already? Seriously. Where did the year go? I hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving break!

As for birthdays this month, we only have one to celebrate and that is for Chris. He will celebrate on the 17th of this month! Be sure to wish him a happy birthday!

In other family news...Crystal, our sweet sister missionary is almost done with her mission. She will return home from Brazil sometime in March of 2011. She has been an awesome missionary serving the people of Brazil. Cindy and Rondo have done a fabulous job of keeping everyone updated on her mission through this blog: http://crystaldegen.blogspot.com/ ! It's been so fun staying up to date on her progress this past year. There is also a mailing address you can use to send her some holiday love. {most likely she won't get it until after the holidays but I know she loves letters!}

Also, my sweet Dylan goes in for another MRI scan sometime in the next month or so, we don't have an appointment yet. But can I beg and plead for more prayers for him. He is doing great! He has been of chemotherapy for 7 months and has been symptom free ever since. These scans just unravel a bunch of nerves for us so please please please say a little prayer for our family and for Dylan. The tumor is still in there, and always will be, but as long as it isn't doing anything besides "sitting there," we are good to go on living a normal life!

The holidays are upon us! Enjoy your time with your family and friends. I know our calendar is filling up this month with family parties, work parties, ward parties, and lots of shopping and traveling. Be safe! And remember the reason for the season!

Love you all!
