Greetings from the Southern California arm of Team Marius!  We had a great Christmas with Marius and Ionut in Utah!  There was more snow than there's been in years and it was tons of fun!  To quote from Marius' journal:  "I have a good Christmas.  I went to Utah and played in the snow a lot.  I made a snowman and a snow house and went sledding."  While Marius was tubing with the kids, Ionut and Ashley went snowmobiling and had a great time.  Ionut was a crazy man on that snowmobile!  They also tried snowboarding for the first time and had a blast.  Christmas Eve was wonderful.  My sister Catherine and her husband Grant and their family hosted everyone at their house for a great dinner and program.  The Nativity was the most moving, with Marius playing Joseph.  He was SO cute, he took his role very seriously.  And Christmas day was wonderful, with lots of presents, food, laughter, fun and family. And of course, the day after Christmas was such a happy day, with Ionut and Ashley getting engaged.  We just couldn't be more thrilled about it.  Thank you to ALL the family who made the boys' first Christmas in America so memorable.
