Merry Christmas

This year was very busy and full of fun: a new baby boy, camping, dance recital, trip to Disneyland, family reunion!!!

Jason - Jason is employed with the LDS church and is working on the New Family Search website. After 4 years he just has to finish his thesis to complete his masters in Computer Science. Jason was released as Scoutmaster (5 years) and is now serving as the 2nd Counselor in the Stake Young Mens. He is enjoying his new calling, but he wish he had more hours in the day. His favorite thing he did this year was going to Disneyland for 10 days with his family and his Mother-in-law =).

Kristine - Kristine is busy with our four children and her numerous other hobbies and projects. She works on genealogy and likes to spray paint anything she can. She spends lots of time with her Mom finding great deals. In between everything else she still finds time to put on bridal and baby showers, help Jason stay on track with his thesis, keep the house clean and still look amazing!

Elisabeth – Elisabeth is 6 years old. She started 1st grade this year and loves to read. She was excited to lose her first tooth when Dad tied floss around it and then Mom yanked it out, sending it flying somewhere onto the kitchen floor, which took us 10 minutes to find. She loves to dance. She’s a big help with her new brother.

Rebekah – Rebekah is 5 years old and is super smart and an absolute delight to be around. She is our early riser and always the first one to wake up. She got a hearing in October and loves to wear it everywhere. She is looking forward to kindergarten this coming fall. She knows all of her letters and numbers and has already started to read easy books.

Jonathan - Jonathan is 3 years old. He is amazing at figuring out how everything works: buttons, switches, screw drivers, computer games, etc. He turns everything into a rocket ship or a truck, especially his roll at dinner.

Jacob - Jacob the newest addition to our family this year is 9 months old. Jacob Ethan was born March 27, weighing in at a whopping, 9 lbs 8 oz, and 21 inches. He is a is always smiling and enjoys all the attention from his brother and sisters.

We are so grateful for our loved ones and would love to hear from all of you. We hope this letter finds you healthy, happy, and enjoying the Christmas season. Merry Christmas! May you feel the peace and love of the Savior, and may this coming year bring much joy.

With Love,
Jason, Kristine, Elisabeth, Rebekah, Jonathan and Jacob
