Our Christmas was wonderful. Holly and Steve got here early morning of the 23 along with their sweet dog Soco. We were joined by Drew, Keeley, Ed's mom Arlene on Christmas evening. Ed prepared a delicious meal, we shared prayer, Christmas story, exchange of gifts. As usual Ed and his creative mind challenged us to a game of let's make a deal. Which ended with all giving donations to Channel One. Ed has always been an example for for us. He gives of himself, and donations to everything he can. It has been such a blessing to have Steve and Keeley join us on the holiday's. I feel like we now have four kids, we could not be more pleased. We love them like our own. Karen, Keith (Steve's parents) John, Chris (Keeley's parents) thanks so much for sharing with us your precious gifts, they have added so much to our lives. On Dec 27 we headed to Albert Lea to my brothers to celebrate the birth of Christ with the Indrelie side. Everyone but Keeley was able to be there. We had a WONDERFUL time, Jessie and Mark put together the 'Amazing Race". We were put into teams and headed out to meet our challenges. Once back from that we were treated to a great meal and time with each other. I love time with our extended family.The nieces, nephews have grown to be such wonderful adults and I love their hugs! Yours too Lucas (my nieces finance). I will try to get a picture of the group. Ed's sister Laurn and family live in New Mexico. Ed's dad Paul and wife Lois live in Texas for the winter. We stay in touch with email and phone calls.

I start radiation and Chemo 2 weeks from today. So you can bet I am trying to get everything done that I can and enjoying so much.
Love and God bless to all
Sue
