Merry Christmas from our family to Yours!

We rented this cabin outside the east entrance to Zion Park.

Joy & Jason Payne with

Luke, Allie, & Wesley

This is looking from the Living/Great Room to the upstairs. There were three bedrooms and a bunk room upstairs with three bathrooms, and a master bedroom and two baths on the main floor. Wesley, Allie, Jason, & Luke welcoming all upstairs.

This is the Living Room/Great Room Christmas morning.
And as the fun was beginning.

This is all of us after Church. Left to Right, Back Row: Wendy (without Pete), Kristyn (holding Bennett) and Paul, Jason & Joy, Thacker, Wesley, Peter, Luke, McKay, & Samuel; Middle Row, starting behind Marlene: Hailey, Allie, Molly & Vic, Chris & Jenny; Front Row: Peggy, Marlene & Le, Grant, & Jack.

Well, that's all! We had a great time together!

(Sorry we missed you Pete.)

Ever Since I discovered online photo editing by picnik.com it's known I can't be trusted with this software. I think Lodewijk would be to embarressed if he sees this.

Oh well, I just wanted to post this to wish you a very happy Christmas and all the best for 2010!

The original picture was actually taken on a beach in Portugal. It's one of our favourite holiday countries and we are thinking about setting up a business there, like a b&b. Unfortunately we couldnt have picked a worse time for such a thing, so it will remain a dream for a while.

Anyway, are you all coming up to Utah for Christmas? That would be so great!

As you might know we have to Christmas days here, which is very practical if you have inlaws! But the first day some friends are coming over for dinner. The second day is divided between both our families. Either way I'm looking forward to it!

I do hope you have a great time and hope to see some pictures here after!

Love always, Mirjam

By the way, Peggy congrats on the job, You go girl!

Have you seen Paul and Kristyn's blog lately? I had to laugh because it took me back to a day many years ago that sent Jason and I rolling with laughter. Just wanted to share. Thanks for joining me on the trip down memory lane!
