Merry Christmas!

You two crack me up! I got 7/8...didn't know you went on so many mini-vacas. I want to put in my request for the year 2010 that you two take the time and write "Marriage That Works: The Van Schooneveld Way". I think that would be a great act of service to all of us.
LOVE IT!! Very creative :)
I totally got them all right! Woo hoo!
I LOVE the Christmas quiz idea. Brilliant!
I got them all right Amber! Yay! Miss you, even though I just saw you....
Hi Am & Mike-- I must say that you don't know yourselves as well as I thought you did. I got all of them right except number 8-- you do have a cell phone--mom and dad are still paying for it. So that means that technically you have a cell phone!!!!
By the way, I love this little annual quiz! I am really glad that Mike doesn't play the "nose harp" though--that is just gross (but I am sure my 2nd graders would like it).
Always fun to hear the review of your year. Josh told me he got 100% and was quite proud of himself.
I would love to read that marriage book myself. Just reading the title bolsters my pride for Van Schoonevelds.
