Happy Christmas to all! We are grateful for this year of growth and love our family has experienced, and for the gospel that has allowed us to focus on our Savior Jesus Christ. Here are some updates from our family and a GIFt from each of us.  We moved! After 9 years (and 8 days) of living in our beloved Durham we decided it was time for a change and bought a home on the coast this August. We are loving life here in Leland, and LOVE having visitors!!
