Our Christmas Card

Not so much of a Christmas card I know but if you want to know what we are up to start reading:) If not here's a picture for you. We just wanted to wish everyone a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Here is a brief run down if you don't want to look through the blog, a little more detail than the e-mail I sent out, I figure if you came to the blog you wanted a little more so here you go...

Joe is still working at the same job as a commercial real-estate anaylist and is enjoying it(we are very grateful he still has a job. He is also a residential agent and this august flew to Chicago to take the final exam to get his CCIM designation (it's like a masters in real estate). He is the Young Men's president in our ward and he loves it. He is the worlds greatest Husband to Deborah and the World's greatest Daddy to Kyle, Kambree, Kayelee, Kapri, and Brittlee

Kyle is 7 almost 8 and will be baptized this year, he gets to be baptized in Wyoming in the Sweet Water River, He is looking forward to it. He is a great big brother to his 4 sisters. He is going to a classical charter school this year and is really enjoying it. He has a great teacher and has made some great friends. I am so glad He and Kam's go together each day. He played football this fall and did very well. He enjoys playing anything from games to sports to make believe and he loves being with his family. He really loves being with his family and I love it. He is a great kid and we are so glad to have him in our family.

Kambree 6 never ceases to amaze me. I say that about her every year and I think I will say if forever about her. No mountain is to tall to climb and she does it with a smile on her face. Early this year we found out she had some pretty severe hearing loss in one of her ears (probably due to the cerebral palsy), she has had tubes put in twice and also got a hearing aid, she is doing much better hearing and it is helping her a lot in school. She is going to the classical charter school as well and loving it and learning so much. She has memorized so many wonderful, songs, and poems all while she is learning, it is so fun for her, she walks around the house repeating them over and over. She has a wonderful teacher who loves her and that has been a huge blessing to her and I. She is the biggest helper with Brittlee she holds her a lot for me and she loves being the "little mother" she loves playing with her sisters and wrestling with her brother, she asks him often if he will wrestle with her, she is rough and tumble on the outside and soft and sweet on the inside.

Kayelee 5 still gets to stay home with me and I am so glad, she will start school next year and I will miss her so much. She is a sweet little helper and it is so fun to have her around. She loves princesses and is one herself. She loves all the girly things and pink is her favorite color. She thinks she is very much the boss around here and sometimes tries to run the place, she sometimes has to be reminded that she is only 5. She is so fun to have around.

Kapri 2 is very sweet. I do have to admit the 2's have hit her I guess I realized my little angel does have a strong will streak at times, it's a good thing. I love her to pieces and she makes us all smile daily. She love all her babies and her dollhouse. She is very easy going and good natured.

Lizzie Brittlee almost 8 months is a spoiled little sweetheart. I probably carry her around 90% of the day when she is not sleeping and Kambree and Kayelee carry her the rest when we don't she is screaming and she does do that sometimes too, I know we spoil her it's bad but it's ok I won't have babies forever:) I love her sweet nature. She is very happy especially if she is in her mama's arms. She has beautiful brown eyes and brown hair and looks just like her daddy. Kyle told me the other day he was so glad Brittlee had brown eyes because they were so beautiful and they fit so good with her beautiful face. I thought that was so cute. She is our brown haired brown eyed little beauty.

Me I chase five little people around daily. I serve in the primary and really enjoy that calling I love being with my kids teaching them and learning the same things they are learning. I am playing indoor soccer right now and loving it. I ran a half marathon in October and am going to run another one in the spring. Exercise is my outlet and my therapy and I love it. One of my favorite things to do is curl up in my bed with my blanket and Joe by my side and watch a good movie and eat ice cream (bad habit I know but I love it!). I love spending time with Joe and my kids, they are my favorite people. I love my extended family and friends too so much and love every chance I get to spend with them.

Life is good and we are doing great!! We hope you are all doing great as well and Wish you the very Merriest Christmas!

With Love,

Joe, Deborah, Kyle, Kambree, Kayelee, Kapri, and Elizabeth Brittlee
