Merry Christmas 2016 from The Sapps

Merry Christmas from Todd and Jennifer!

     Greetings to each of you from Todd and me!  We hope you are doing well and enjoying the many blessings God has given us.  We've had a wonderful year full of travel and new adventures.  
     Our year began with a trip to Nebraska to pick up our new truck. We named him Olaf because he's white (like a famous Frozen snowman) and because he's big and strong (like a true Norwegian)! 

In February, Todd and I took a week-long vacation to Puerto Rico! It was a cultural experience full of beautiful sights, tasty new foods, musical Spanish phrases, and meeting lots of intriguing locals. 

     In the spring, Todd and I took a class on how to make lefse! What a treat!  We also attended a retreat in Alexandria.  Later, my mom and I had the amazing experience of hearing Joshua Bell perform on his violin at a small concert hall in southern Minnesota. 

In June Todd and I became Grandparents to a sweet bundle of joy named Jax Robert Sapp.  His parents, James and Jaimee, are wonderful parents.  Their little family brings us much joy.

   In July our dream was fulfilled of taking a trip to Alaska together. We flew into Prince Rupert, British Columbia and used the Marine Highway Ferry System to travel up the Inside Passage.  We spent time in Ketchikan, Petersburg, Juneau, and Skagway, Alaska.  We then flew home from Whitehorse, Yukon.  We saw breath-taking sights, met very friendly people, gazed upon majestic blue glaciers, experienced some of the Alaskan culture, and just overall enjoyed our adventure immensely.      

This fall brought me to my 17th year of teaching and Todd to his 28th year at Remmele.  We enjoyed our annual trip to Albany Pioneer Days and celebrated Todd's birthday with Daniel, James, Jaimee, and Jax (our little punkin').  

        We wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy 2017!
