Merry Christmas from the Bise Family

Merry Christmas!
We hope you had a wonderful Christmas and that 2013 will bring you many joys!  Here is a sampling of our 2012.

Robbie (21) is nearing the end of his 2 year mission for our church, serving in Paris France.  He has lived in three countries (France, Luxembourg and Belgium) and worked with people from all over the world.  He will return home in 3 weeks.  We are so excited!

Dallin (19) graduated from high school this year.  This summer, he did the Craiglist upgrade, by purchasing a motorcycle for $150 and trading up, until he got an 87 Chevy Blazer.  In October, he moved to Provo, Utah, where he is working , saving money and planning to enroll in college.  He came home for Christmas and we’ve loved having him home.

Jordon (15) is a sophomore.  He loves music and loves his guitar.  This fall, he ran Cross Country, earning a varsity letter and posting times around 18:50.  He will be taking Driver’s Ed. In January and driving by June…  He is a great big brother to 3 sisters and makes us all happy.

Cadie and Charli (13) are in 8th Grade.  They will be 14 next month.  This year, they each raised and then showed a steer at the fair and sold them for $2200 each.  They also played softball, volleyball and basketball.  But running is their greatest love!  They placed 5th and 6th in their All League cross country meet in October.  Cadie still plays flute and fiddle and Charli plays the saxophone.  They love to ski, water sports of all kinds and camping.

Cami (7) is in first grade.  She loves to entertain the family and is very funny, even when she isn’t trying to be.  She still loves to sing and plays endlessly with her toys, making up games and adventures.  Everybody knows her.  Where ever we go within our school district boundaries, kids, old and young, know who she is.  Very friendly kiddo!

Troy is still working with Lexmark.  I am still me.  Our relaxation is on our farm with our cows and horses and 20 acres of pasture and forest.  Our little family is growing up and our kids are a great source of joy for us as we watch them grow and learn and accomplish things they didn’t know they could do.

We are thankful for the gospel of Jesus Christ and for the hope of a better tomorrow.  We are grateful for each of you, our family and our friends that we accumulated over the years.  May your hearts be filled with the spirit of Christmas throughout 2013.

With Love, The Bise Family
