Nebraska Visit

Matthew and Teresa went to Nebraska for Christmas and are staying with Peter, Jewel and little Arianna for a few days.  Arianna is starting to walk a couple of steps before falling.  She will get better  :-)  then there will be no stopping her.

Today there were 14 in church total today and it was November Birthday Sunday.  Little Yuuri turned two on the first and we celebrated with cake.  Here's a video of the event.  He wasted no time blowing out the candle.  Such a cute little guy.  :-)  💖
