Have a Merry Christmas

Hello yall,
At this time I wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. I know some of you we probably will not get to see this Christmas season. I hope this Christmas all of you will experience and feel the Saviors love as you seek to draw closer to Him. Too often we get swept up in the day to day commercialization of Christmas and we forget the greatest gift of all. "For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son..." What greater love is there. I, for one, am very greatful this holiday season as I have felt the love of my savior in my life.

Update on the family:
We are enjoying being in our own place and our new ward is great. They have really made us feel right at home. Christena and Savannah have been enjoying school again this year. After the Christmas break they will be transferring to their new school finally and they are very excited. The first day in the new ward they had already made new friends and are eager to go to school with them. They are both a joy to have in the family and keep us laughing.
Olyvia is still as cute and tiny as ever. She will be five in a few months and is really looking forward to starting Kindergarten.
Juliana just turned two a few months ago and is the epidemy of the terrible twos. She is a terror. Getting into everything laughing all the while. She really keeps us on our toes.
Debra stays busy working. She works at the Elementary school for a couple hours each day and really enjoys it. She also sews hats for Hats with Heart. They manufacture and sell hats to cancer patients. She enjoys it, but with the kids and work she is staying really busy.
I have been selling online advertising for the Deseret News and Salt Lake Tribune websites. This has kept me fairly busy, but is not all that fun or excititng. I am continuously looking for a new job that I will really be able to enjoy. For the time being though it is paying the bills and making ends meet. On down time I am watching alot of Football and love coming home to my family. Yes, I am extremely outnumbered and sometimes the female emotion is almost too much to handle, but I make it through. I really do not look forward to the time all of them are teenagers. Not a fun time.
Again we wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and the happiest of new years in 2008. May the Lord bless all of you.
