Christmas - Best Gift Ever!

No gift could compare to being able to skype with our missionary!  We love you, Josh.  It was amazing to be able to talk to you.  While it was fabulous and the highest of highs, we were all wrecked afterwards.  Having a missionary in the field is amazing, we're so proud of you and love you.  On the other hand, it is HARD to be so far away on these special days.
