Christmas

We've been fortunate to spend this Christmas with two families, the Hanthorns and the Halls. We returned to live with the Hanthorns on December18th after a brief hiatus housesitting. The Halls, friends of the Hanthorns and now our good friends as well, arrived this past Tuesday to celebrate Christmas. In attendance this Christmas: Ben and Barbara with their four teenagers, the Hanthorns with their 8 children + 3 foster children and our family of 3. To more easily identify the Halls: one picture has Ben adjusting the collar on his son's coat. Another photo has Ben sitting with his wife; the other 3 teenagers are not shown because they were not keen on having their picture taken.

The Halls are from Fort Nelson, B.C. and Ben is a residential and commercial builder; good news since he's been a driving force to help complete some priority items for the church building. Soon we'll vacate our 200 sq ft quarters (as seen in these posted pictures) for the church apartment.
