Instead of showing you the photos of all of us in our PJs opening gifts on Christmas morning (yawn :>O), we are posting some pictures of the family partying like rock stars on Christmas with The Bradstreets.
We are so thankful for the friendship that has blossomed between the Bradstreets family and ours in the past year. Dave initially met Erik while working in the cardiovascular division of Medtronic then his family adopted us after we moved to Spokane. We have spent the past 2 Thanksgivings and countless occasions breaking bread with this family. They also introduced us to our church home, Valley Real Life, in which Dave and I were baptised in a few weeks ago. When I asked Jennie, Erik's wife, if she was sure that we wouldn't be intruding on family time by crashing their holiday meals she was relieved to say that having us there helps to buffer the extended family stress that comes with holiday get together (hopefully her family doesn't read this post of the blog). But seriously, we are truly thankful for the love and support they have provided to our family over the past year, we have been truly blessed by their friendship.

Looks like you guys are ready to take your band on the road. Make sure you schedule a performance in Crown King.
Seriously, it brings us comfort knowing that you have made such good friends in Spokane to share special times and just hang out.
We miss you all dearly and miss the closeness that living nearby allows.
We hope you have a safe and happy New Year's Eve. I will be calling the girls at midnight Washington time to welcome the New Year with them.
Just kidding, well maybe just kidding!
Love to all,
Mom aka: Grandma Hill
