Have A Wonderful Christmas!!!

It's been quite a year for the Priems!

We have moved across the country, sold our Arizona house,

and we're now in the process of finding a new house in Minnesota!  

Here we are depositing a huge cashier's check into the bank!

The move has been scary and busy and labor-intensive, but we are THRILLED to be back in Minnesota and we are excited about the adventure God has sent.

We are happy to be spending more time with our families!

I got to see my nieces' Christmas performance in PERSON!

Here's Cora's piano solo:

Here's Esme (front row, red velvet top/white skirt dress, glasses, cute as a button!):

Cora's class did a very cool light show:

We have decorated a little bit, but not much, since most of our things are still in boxes, ready for the next move (which hopefully will be soon!)  My friend Naomi from New Zealand sent me some new ornaments: a kiwi and a sheep!

The cats are as cute as ever.  They survived the move amazingly well!

Stephen:

The rest of our stuff arrived from Arizona on Monday, so ALL our things are now in Minnesota.  Many dreams are coming true with this move. 

Claude:

We are getting used to the snow again - and enjoying it!

One of the reasons the snow seems lovely is because it IS lovely.

Another reason is because neither of us needs to leave the house - we both work from home now (except for me on Sundays).  Intel approved Greg to work permanently remotely in his new position (which is another huge change!)

And now . . . the celebration of Christmas begins, with FAMILY.  We have longed for our families over the years in the desert, and we're overwhelmed to be able to spend holidays with them.

May you know the One whose birth means wholeness, freedom, and restoration for all.

John 10:10 

Jesus said, "I come that everyone may have LIFE and have it to the full!"

(my paraphrase)

To all a good night!
