A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS

This is the official Christmas letter. I decided to log some of the favorite things we did this past year. I'm curious to hear what the kids have to say.  Merry Christmas!!
Kate (just about 18 months old): This year Kate learned to walk, scream, eat big girl food, and sleep. (mostly).  We learned a few months ago that foods with dairy make her sick, so we are having to adjust for that.  She starts nursery the Sunday of Christmas week. We are praying for a Christmas miracle that she will actually go to nursery.  Every one loves Kate and we are all enjoying many "firsts" with her.
Hayden: Hayden is 6 and in the 1st grade. Hayden said his favorite thing this year was going to Michigan and playing with his cousin Samuel.  Hayden also likes playing computer games with his brother Jakob.
Sariah: Will be 10 years old the day after Christmas and is in the 4th grade. Sariah said she loved going to Michigan, she likes putting up the Christmas tree, and going to "take your kid to work day".
Corrine: She will be 13 in January and is in the 7th grade.  Corrine said she loved going to Michigan, being in young womens,  participating in camp, volleyball and other fun activities, starting her own business, and getting her braces off.  She has had a very busy year!
Jakob: He is 15 years old and in the 10th grade. He is taking classes from BYU Independent and will be starting some college classes in January.  Jakob said his highlights were going to Michigan, getting his learners permit, and working on the big shed in the back yard.  He likes to drive every chance he gets... which is not nearly often enough.
Camille: Old and the school teacher. I loved going to Michigan! I still love home school and food storage related things. I also love teaching my primary class. I had fun being "Miss Kay" for a Halloween party.
Keith: Older than Camille and the bread winner.  Keith also enjoyed going to Michigan to stay with his sister and her family. Keith broke his finger in the spring and needed surgery. He spent most of the summer in a cast type thing and had very limited activity with his hand. In March he was called to be the Elders Quorum President in the ward.  When his hand was better, he worked hard on the big shed in the back yard. His latest interest is duck hunting. He better not start growing a beard.

We want to wish you a Merry Christmas!
