Merry Christmas 2025

 

It's hard to believe it has been almost a year since our first family vacation in Hawaii. It was definitely a highlight for all of us for 2025. I am so grateful my family humors me with a few family photo ops here and there. It means so much to me having us all together. As the kids grow we seems to take less and less pictures and they seem to change so fast. Each year goes by more quickly than the last and even the kids have noticed this as they age.

In most other ways the year has been a typical year. Most days we count our blessings and we try to do this in good times and through the struggles. It is getting more challenging to write an annual Christmas letter as the kids grow up and are beginning to write their own stories. Our stories overlap but they are not always mine to share.

In that regard I will keep this years letter short and sweet. We reflect on 2025 with LOVE and look forward to 2026 in HOPE. We are thankful for our family and friends and we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Love,

the Neufelds

Badminton

 Our Badminton Club hosts the best tournaments, Christmas Parties and Year Ends. Yesterday was the year end Pizza Party and Family night and it was an extra special one for us this year. Rebekah received an award for most improved girl 12 and under and Angeline received most improved girl for 18 and under. Afterwards we all played a few games and it was a lot of fun. The picture of Josh is from the tournament in January. Samara is also continuing to play well. She didn't attend the tournament this year because it was the day after we got back from Hawaii.
