Merry Christmas!

Thanks to my parents for sending us a camera they didn't use much anymore - so now I can at least take a picture of my kids! (would you believe I don't even have a camera on my phone!! I know... that is how old my phone is!) Life has been crazy busy lately, but we are all doing fine and hanging in there. Jackson has been sick with strep throat since Halloween basically, and the doctors finally said that it wouldn't go away until he had his tonsils out. So, they took them out last Tuesday. He has been doing OK, but had a pretty hard day today since I think the scabs are coming off and leaving a his throat really raw. Hopefully he will be all better by Christmas. Natalie is just singing and dancing still and loving life. She was in the school choir and LOVED it! Staci basically does everything Natalie tells her to. She is still such a stinker and we are constantly amazed at how much energy she has! Geoff will graduate in June and we couldn't be happier! It has been a very long eight years in school - to say the least! I am proud of him - he has worked so hard and somehow managed to get the required grade of 90% or better on every test. We are not entirely sure what we are doing after graduation, but have options, and plan to decide soon. He will for sure stay with Walgreens... and we know it will either be here or there! (how's that for vague!) I am doing OK, serving in the primary presidency in the ward, and trying to stay busy and out of trouble. I didn't mean for this to be a "Christmas letter" thing.... it just turned into one somehow as I typed. Anyway, we are so grateful for all of the love and support of our family and friends, and wish you all a very Merry Christmas! Love to you all!
