Teall Gerkoye by Jim a son and Christmas notes
We are happy to note that the boys are doing so well in basketball. We finally got our Christmas tree up and the wife is beaming with pride and joy. Her first Christmas away from home and her first Christmas in snow are turning out to be momentous occasions. She got her first snowmobile ride the other night and she's decided what she wanted under the tree. We enjoyed our visit with the Stiles family Monday evening. If you have never been in the Stiles home.
