Christmas 2015 and Saying goodbye

Just a few pictures ... Mason had already said his goodbye to Jake when he left to Colombia but we had all hoped and prayed he would make it till Mason returned.  Sadly that was not the case.  It was one of the hardest emails I had to write, letting Mason know that Jake had passed.  These Two had grown up together.  I laugh thinking on the many shirts we lost to their silly games of "Down Wolf"  Mason was in shock to learn of his passing but knows he's in a better place.  We put Jake down on December 20, 2015. The best gift we were given this year was being able to see and Hear from Mason.  He is doing well and is such an awesome Missionary.  He is excited to see where the next 6 months take him in his remaining time in Colombia.  Merry Christmas Everyone and a Happy New Year.
