Our Family's Christmas Newsletter

So, I sort of feel like I'm missing out on a cool tradition... the yearly Christmas newsletter. So here goes our online blog version, since I'm too lazy/busy to print one up and mail them. I've enjoyed the ones I've read so far, especially this one, she inspired me to write our own!

Seriously, go click on the link and read it, she's one funny woman!

So here goes ours:

As many of you know, Ken has been busy building his acting career. It's amazing how many countless film projects he's been in since he began just over a year ago, but still manages to have a decent home life with us.


                                     

The highlight of Clarice's year was getting to go to Connecticut and New York in October. She's discovered for her sanity she NEEDS to get on an airplane at least once a year. Hmmm, where will she go this year? She's also still going to school full time while trying to take care of 5 children, carpooling and all, wish her luck in the New Year, she'll need it!

Keilani turned 15 this year and just got her learner's permit. She's badgering us about taking Driver's ED. I guess it will be a good thing, because then she'll be able to help with the carpooling. She's also very responsible and has taken over as second mom status. The kids just love it, NOT!

Natasha turned 13 and finally got a Facebook account. She's in 7th grade and turning into quite the woman. I can say that because she's almost caught up to me in bra size, lol. Almost...

  

Vivian is in 5th grade. She continues to be her unique self and Keilani says she's getting sassier and sassier. I say she's just following her older sister's examples.

                

Kalel just turned 8, he will be baptized in a few weeks. He's growing into quite the sensitive boy, which I like, as he'll turn into a sensitive man and every woman wants that!

Zane is our crazy dude. He likes to sing along to any song he hears on the radio, and that includes songs like, "I'm Sexy and I know it". Hmmm, maybe I need to introduce him to some classical music via piano lessons. He's obviously musically inclined and has been since he was a little one.

 On another note, we moved to a new home in Orem, we downsized from 6 bedrooms to 4 bedrooms, which has been an adjustment. Our yard size doubled though and we got to experiment in gardening this year, that was interesting.

We look forward to the year 2012 and all the amazing things that will happen, as long as the end of the world doesn't hit this time next year.
