Christmas Letter 2014

Merry Christmas from the McLaughlin family!
Happy Birthday to the King of Kings!

The big news from our family is that after 12 years of making our home in beautiful Vermont, we have moved to the Raleigh, NC, area. Paul now works for BlueCross BlueShield of NC as a software solutions architect. We greatly miss our friends in Vermont and the incredible natural beauty of the Green Mountain State. However, North Carolina has proved to be one of the friendliest places on earth, and having a little less winter in our lives will be a perk.
Our fearsome foursome, Jenna, Merry, James and Philip, are all turning 15 this December. All of them have been immersed in transition that has been both exciting and painful. We are proud of how they've hung in there and really worked hard to form new friendships and deal with a lot of culture shock.
Robin turned 20 this year and continues to love going to Houghton College in western NY. She is pursuing music composition and education and having a ball!
Laura ceased working as a director of preschool ministry at our church in Vermont this year with our move. She will be focused on increasing her time with CreativeGrace which puts on ladies' retreats exploring creativity.

We wish you a wonderful Christmas celebration!

Merry, Robin, Philip, James, Paul, Laura, and Jenna
