A Christmas Letter, sort of

This year has been good to us. We've lost teeth (Zee, Gee), started school (Em, Gee), learned to read (Em), learned to love reading (Zee), been in a "giant accident" (Keryn and kids), broken bones (Hebs), learned to walk (Hebs), birthed a baby (Keryn), learned to smile and giggle (Mimi), changed job responsibilities (Bradley), and laughed a lot. There have been some tough times, but they have served to make the good times even better.

We have a lot of great plans for the new year: Building a new shed, taking an RV trip, learning new things and laughing and playing and growing.

Hopes for the new year:

Mimi would like to learn to roll over, crawl, and walk. Tackling solid foods and getting into everything is on the agenda as well.

Hebs would like to lose the cast, start walking again, watch lots more Wonder Pets, and go swimming.

Gee would like to paint, learn to walk up and down stairs without help, and give lots and lots of hugs.

Em would like to make snow angels, play at the park, go swimming, and have lunch at school (in first grade).

Zee would like to take piano lessons, spend lots of time playing with friends, and is looking forward to being baptized in November.

From our family to yours, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
