Christmas News Letter

Merry Christmas Everyone! I took pictures for our Christmas cards this year and I sent them online to CVS to be printed and they turned out looking like everyone had bright red lipstick on. So this year only the family got cards. This year has been a busy one. Full of too many blessings to name or count. I hope our Father in Heaven knows how grateful we are, for we do not and can not express it enough.

Jeremy has been busy with teaching Seminary from 5:30 to 6:30 and Work from 7:30 to 6:30 So when he finally gets home at 7:00 we have to time to eat and get everyone to bed. Then he's off to work on tomorrows lesson. Come January he will be starting classes at the college here, so he'll be home even later for a couple of nights a week. He works so hard and does so much for us. I love him verymuch and I am so grateful he's mine!

Kyra is a shorty pants! lol She's excited to be turning 8 so she can be baptised. We held up the smallest baptism jumpsuit to her and it drowns her! Ehhh, she has 3 months to grow into it. She is such a good helper, she is my new cheese grater and proud of it! She'll tell you, "Daddy is the fastest cheese grater but I'm the happiest cheese grater, and Mom likes happy better than fast" She likes to help in the kitchen, and loves reading to her brothers.

Gabe is six and growing so fast there is no keping up with him. I compared his Kindergarten pictures with his 1st grade pictures and I'm telling you he is not the same boy! His face has thinned out and there isn't that baby look anymore! I miss that baby look! He's proud to be the biggest even if he's not the oldest. He is loving school. On Christmas night he said, "I wish we had school tomorrow, I just like it too much!" I'm not sure how to take that. ;) He's a sweet big brother who takes care of everyone.

Aaron is 2 and so much fun. He's gone through his ups and downs. When Adelia was born he was in the "growling at everyone faze" He always had a mad or maybe a better word for it would be mischevious look on his face even if he was happy. It was hard to deal with but he left it behind quickly. He is very loving and happy most of the time. His major accomplishments this year include talking up a storm, advancing from the high chair to the table, losing the sippy cup and most recently potty training. He loves puzzles and books and movies.

Adelia, aka...'Delia, Addy, Delly Bean, Queen Delly Bean, Deyabean (as called by Aaron) is such a joy! She has been the happiest baby! She's loving to stick everything in her mouth esspecially her thumb. Sitting up to play with toys. Eating a wider range of foods,and the crowning moment of being able to stick a bow in her hair and have it stay! ...mostly. She's a calm little thing and as you can see in the pictures, puts up with all of Aarons little pokes and pulls and loves on her.

As for me, well I'm still me. I get up at 6:00, get kids ready for school, stay home with Aaron and Delia, Pick up kids from school, do homework, Make Dinner, Go to bed and repeat...with a few activities thrown in there. My favorite being laundry. ;)

Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year to All that have had the pleasure of reading this fabulous Newsletter that Iwas too lazy to print and send to everyone!

Much Love!
