I wasn't going to send out Christmas cards this year. I have done one every single year since I moved out on my own at 19. But I wasn't feeling it this year and it was just "one more thing" on my checklist that I am trying so hard to get rid of.
A few days before Christmas my husband asked when I was sending them out. And then the kids asked if they could see our card. I told them I wasn't going to do one this year, and I was met with cries of complaints and how it was our tradition and I just hadddddddd to do it.
So I caved. I am a sucker for Christmas traditions after all.
I mailed out a few, hand delivered some others, and kept our Christmas keepsake just like all the others I have tucked away. The kids loved their honorable mentions about their year and suddenly I didn't mind so much about that checklist anymore. (Especially because this 🗹 looks so pretty on paper.)
And now for your viewing pleasure.... or to satisfy your curiosity.... or because you don't follow me on Instagram and have no idea what we have been up to this year... or because you need something to scroll through late at night besides Facebook ads...
Merry
Christmas and Happy 2019!
In 2018 we sure did a whole lot
Here is our story, here is what we got:
Alfer went to work with a brand-new MBA
And advanced in the Air Force
while we shouted HOORAY!
Camille switched jobs,
now works for two schools
She met Mitt Romney and still
enforces Fortnite rules.
Mason “ran” to state and then
took first with his brain
He recently changed schools
and also started to shave.
Marcus broke his arm this year
because he
loves to play outside
and making slime and inventing things,
while running XC on the side.
Makenna got baptized and
just recently pierced her ears
She blesses us with her angelic voice
and for all who want to hear.
Maegan is finally wearing glasses and
is on her 4th year of being boss
She loves to go to preschool and playing with her
sister at all costs.
With the kids Mom road-tripped to Cali and
We played knee deep in the sand
Daddy was on assignment and will
soon be off to another land.
We have grown in many sizes and
in our faith & testimonies, too.
We love this time of year and proclaim our love for
the Savior with all of you.
Love,
Alfer & Camille
Mason (14)
Marcus (11.8)
Makenna (8)
Maegan (4)
