We had the most fabulous start to our Christmas break on Tuesday when we visited the Washington D.C. Mormon Temple Visitor's Center and enjoyed the beautiful music of Jenny Oaks Baker. It was just incredible! In addition, we enjoyed the live nativity, an international nativity display, brilliant Christmas lights and decorations, and a Reflections of Christ art exhibit. What a marvelous way to invite the Spirit into our Christmas celebrations!

Merry Christmas!
One of my favorite parts of this holiday season is the giving and receiving of cards and letters. It is so good to hear from our friends and family whom we love and miss.
Our little family has been richly blessed this year. Dad's work has gone extremely well, and he enjoys it. He also serves on the Stake High Counsel. I continue to work full-time at the kids' elementary school where I am having a lot of fun, and I serve as the Stake Relief Society Secretary. Life keeps us anxiously engaged, and time flies.
Following is an update from the kids, in their own words. They may have left out some details (like a certain young man getting baptized and earning a Bobcat in Cub Scouts, or a certain young lady participating in computer club and basketball, or two wonderful kids becoming accomplished pianists). I think, however, that they've included all that's on their minds today:
If a picture is worth a thousand words, than I wonder what a video is worth? The kids had fun creating their greeting, and we hope you had fun watching it.
As we reflect on the birth and life of our Savior, our hearts are filled with joy. Our wish for all of you is that you can also feel this joy and that it will stay with you always!

Welcome
Yes, this technomom finally decided to start a family blog so that far away friends and relations can see what we're up to.
Tune in every month or so if you're curious as to what's happening in our lives. If nothing else, you're sure to see some fun pictures and movies (since that is my favorite pastime).
