Dear Family,

Merry Christmas! Since I probably won't get to talk with most of you "live" I thought I would post with pictures.

Things here are settling down for Christmas Eve and before the festivities begin, I thought I'd put a few pictures to highlight events over the past few months. First, here is the whole gang from this past summer. We had our neighbor take some family pictures of us by a river about 15 minutes from home. We figured with Tyler leaving, these family pictures we'll be tougher to come by.

Next is a wonderful shot of Aaron reminding his ever encroaching brothers not to touch his tortilla with cheese.

Whitney, despite having a 150% fully packed schedule manages to keep her social life in high gear. Here she is receiving an answer and going to the Sadie's dance.

One of my favorites (though a bit blurry) is this one of Aaron who helped decorate our BYU friend's doorstep after the U of U beat BYU in overtime.

Over Thanksgiving weekend we visited Fish Falls (frozen in the background). Aaron tried, but he coudln't seen any fish in the ice.

Yesterday we went to Copper Mountain for some skiing and fun. Aaron and Tanner decided to switch from skiing to snowboarding and for their first day did very well. Go Aaron!

The day was capped off with a Santa and his reindeer (who with only one antler looked more like Max, the Grinch's dog) but it made Nancy's day.

So for now... Merry Christmas to all...and to all a Good Night! Looking forward to seeing you next week (or reading your Blog, Mom & Dad)

Love,

Jeff
