Dear family and friends,

A warm Christmas greeting from the Christiansen family in snowy northern Minnesota.

We’ve had a year of joy as each of the family has found new adventures. Darek and Ivy tied the knot last Memorial Day, and Eden and Jace Jacobsen followed with a celebration in August. Casper has moved to Roatán to work on a sunken galleon in pursuit of his archaeology degree . . .

The Christiansen family has seen much change this year. We’ve worked hard on the resort, and it is nearly rebuilt after last year’s devastating forest fire. Grace is finally pursuing her love of cooking, working as a chef in Minneapolis and looking forward to marrying NHL hockey player Maxwell Sharpe. Meanwhile, Owen has been out west, fighting fires with a hotshot team. We were all delighted when he showed up for Eden’s wedding . . .

It’s a year of new beginnings for us as our children start new chapters in their lives. We are thrilled to have sent Amelia off to Prague for her first year of college . . .
