Merry Christmas!

We've had a great year.

Emery is a lively two year old who wants a "choo-choo" from Santa. He loves to say prayers both for meals and during family prayer. He loves nursery (they have bubbles and trucks there) and has a lot of friends there.

Chani is such a happy baby. She loves to laugh and coo. She likes to sit and take it all in, and loves for Emery to be near her, tickling her toes and playing with her toys. She's just discovered her tongue and her fingers. She's starting to grasp things and pull them to her mouth.

Jill really enjoys being the mom and can't believe how much fun it is to be the mother of two. She got a new calling on Sunday that she feels totally inadequate for (Gospel Doctrine Instructor).

Clint is working hard on his Thesis this Christmas break. He hopes to have it mostly knocked out before the semester starts January 7. Not only does he have to write the thesis, he also needs to draft an article for publication. He has to defend in March, so life might be pretty stressful until then.

We hope you all have a happy and healthy 2008. May the joy of Christ's birth be evident in your celebrations. We're happy to share our witness that Christ lives and loves each one of you. We love you all!
