Family Fun

Over Christmas we had a wonderful time visiting family and friends. We started by traveling down to South Carolina for the Atkinson family gathering at Paul's grandparent's house. It was a great time of hanging with family, helping out with some minor construction projects, eating, laughing, and sharing gifts.

Then we flew across the country to spend time with the entire Baker clan. We had a wonderful time in San Francisco. Whitney was able to participate in her Dad’s church’s Christmas musical. It was a great opportunity for both of them to lead in worship and praise our Savior!

We then got to visit some of our friends, the Cohoon’s. It was a blast to see all of them, sample foods from all around the world, discuss ministry, and enjoy wonderful fellowship.

We then headed south down to San Diego making a wonderful stop at Six Flag’s Magic Mountain. Magic mountain did not disappoint delivering some great thrills!


We eventually made it to San Diego and had a wonderful time hanging out with all of our extended family. Family skits, sharing testimonies from 2008, opening presents, and joining Rony and Jaimee at their church for their Christmas Eve service with the entire family were just a few of the highlights…a wonderful Christmas!

We hopped back on a plane, headed East, then eventually drove West to join Paul’s parents, sister, and brother-in-law for New Year’s. We received an incredible surprise…Paul’s sister, Lori, is pregnant which will make us an Aunt and Uncle for the first time.

Needless to say we had a blast trekking across the country and spending time with our family. Family is such a wonderful gift. And we’re grateful to have the best families anyone could ask for.
