We are grateful:
-Warren turned 40 and spent the day building the kids a trampoline and survived his first full marathon
-Dorothea kept the family fed and clothed
-Celeste learned how to walk, jump, climb and talk
-Theo makes us smile with his zest for life
-Joseph learned how to swim and ride a bike
-Rebecca is a hardworking student, caring big sister and great help to her parents
-for a Pioneer handcart trek (despite 100 degree heat!)
-Fred and Carol Williams (Warren’s parents) hosted their posterity at Aspen Grove in honor of their 50th wedding anniversary
-for the many family weddings this year which brought Dorothea’s parents, Hanno and Julie over from Rome multiple times to visit (including the wedding of Dorothea’s brother Philipp to Tara Bee)
-for the chance to see extended family at these gatherings
-for a beautiful beach outing on Thanksgiving Day
-for employment, for education, for opportunities to serve at church, for doctors and dentists who care for us, for libraries and Date Nights, a home to shelter us, food to sustain us, for sunshine and rain, for you our friends and family
-and above all, for our Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave us the gift of His life and His love and makes eternal life and joy possible for all of us.
We hope you had a peaceful Christmas and may 2014 be filled with gratitude for our many blessings.
With Love,
The Williams Family
