Altrogge Family

Christmas day was spent with my family. Now that us gals are older, "present time" has been bumped until after the sun rises. Sadly, I think this is the first picture of the four of us. Long overdue.



Unfortunately, Stephen and I were not able to visit my grandparents this year (hardly feels like Christmas without you), but they graciously sent gifts for us to open at my parent's house. Charis loves the baby doll (whom she happened to match) and gives her kisses (below) and soothing pats on the back.



To our dear friends back home, it was such a delight to worship with you Sunday, chit-chat and even just get a quick hug and hello. We are grateful for your prayers and miss you deeply! For those of you who were away, we missed seeing your faces.
