Christmas 2010

Christmas is a season filled with wonder and joy. This year a highlight in the annual nativity sketch acted out by our grandchildren will be the joy expressed by angels:

Fear not; for behold,
I bring you good tidings of great joy,
that shall be to all people.
For, this day, is born to you a Savior,
who is Christ the Lord
(Luke 2:10-11)

May your home be filled with this joy and the warmth and beauty of Christmas.

We've had a wonderful year!

Robison Family Nativity 2010





Here's a pictorial review of 2010. We are grateful for the technology that keeps us connected with you and we look forward to the times we can be together.




Some of our special milestones:



We have a new grandson! (Our numbers are now perfectly even - 8 granddaughters and 8 grandsons)

Bauer


We have a teen age granddaughter!

Julia


We have a cat - or a cat has us. Reid is in denial but Fia has decided to move in and now makes our deck her home.



We have FIVE 2 year old grandsons (and extremely chaotic family gatherings)!



We still miss our mission and the sweet people of the Caribbean.

Can you tell how much by looking at our Christmas tree?



Here's what's happening in the lives of the Five Fabulous Js:

Joelle and John

Raising a family of four beautiful, interesting daughters and little Prince Jack (who's actually in charge of the family).
