Merry Christmas, everyone. We hope this season finds you well, and growing in appreciation for Jesus and his blessed gifts to us.

Jesus came as a baby, but lived as a Perfect Man bringing hope through his life and death on the cross for all who believe. Jesus offers life and peace to all through the glorious gospel message.

In the words of a beautiful new song "The Gospel Song":

Holy God, in love, became
Perfect Man to bear my blame
On the cross He took my sin
By His death I live again

May you glory in Jesus this Christmas.

With love and blessings,

Bob & Carolyn Hayton
Emily, Megan, Amber and Rachel

Rachel: 7 Weeks Old

Wow does time fly! Rachel is already 7 weeks old, and will be 2 months on the 21st. Time for some more cute baby pictures. Right?

Flower Girls and More

It's been a while since I posted any new pictures. So I want to put some more up here.

Nov 10th was my cousin John Burmeister's wedding, and he and Lynsey asked our 2 oldest girls to be flower girls in their wedding. My brother Dave officiated the wedding, and his oldest son Hudson was the ring bearer. Here are some pictures from our time in Ashland, WI.

Amber and Abigail have to be included, too

Emily was in her glory! Weddings and Princesses are her twin delights.

Megan was lovely too.

Abigail's quite the charmer herself.

Thankful for Mayflowers

Flowers are nice, but on Thanksgiving we think of The Mayflower.
