Merry Christmas from our crazy crew!

 -Isaac and Caleb both had Christmas band concerts this month- always enjoy listening to their concerts.
-Caleb played on an indoor soccer team.
-Julia performed with the sacred dance group at church and participated in her last Sunday School Christmas program.
-Caleb had allergy testing done because of continuous post-nasal drip, throat clearing symptoms. Found out he is allergic to nothing! We were surprised. Dr gave us some possible remedies to try.
-Lexi has been breaking out in hives for a couple months. She is having bloodwork to monitor her thyroid levels and she has allergy testing in January to help determine why she is having hives.
-We celebrated Grandma Jongsma's 90th birthday with the extended Jongsma family. It was a lovely afternoon of sharing stories, memories and laughter. We love Grandma (Great-Grandma) so much and she has touched our lives in many ways.
-The Jongsma's were gathered for Grandma's party so we did our gift exchange in the hotel lobby that afternoon. It doesn't matter where the location is, it is always good to be together.
-Caleb and Stacy played their instruments in the church instrument ensemble one Sunday morning. It was fun to play in a group together.
-We stayed at Steph/Ben's house over Christmas. The weather was in the 60's- amazing. We spent time playing outside, playing games, ice skating, eating good food, watching Elf, and trying to scare each other with Buddy the Elf. It was a fun, relaxing time for our family.
-For New Year's Eve we went to the Gabrielse house along with some other friends- a fun way to bring in a new year!
