Christmas 2003 Part 1

This is the year Dale's mom and dad, Brenda and Irv, came to Minneapolis to celebrate Christmas with me and Dale and also with my mom and dad. Oddly, there are no photos to be found of this visit. What's strange about this is that Brenda and I are both such shutterbugs when it comes to documenting visits and holidays. So is my mom for that matter. We'll all just have to keep looking because I'd think between the three of us something will have to turn up eventually. Regardless, it was a fun visit and so meaningful to be able to celebrate Christmas with Brenda and Irv. The following note showed up a year later for Christmas of 2004. I think it's safe to say Brenda and Irv had a fine time as well!

Christmas 2004

Pictured is the Christmas card that Mom sent for Christmas 2004. She cross-stitched the flower on front of the card. Also pictured is the prayer card she included with her Christmas greeting.

The Christmas of 2004 is also notable as it was the first one for Sam and Becky's first child, Calvin.

The bible verses on the inside of Mom's card:

In the tender compassion of our God the dawn from on high shall break upon us, to shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death, and to guide our feet into the way of peace.

Luke 1:78-79
