That's our Christmas in pictures...We hope everyone enjoyed seeing Ben's first! A big thank you to the Niessen family for sharing their home and holiday with us, it will always be a sweet memory of our first child's first Christmas.

We wish you all peace and joy in the New Year, may God bless your family,

Joel, Christine, and Benjamin
