Merry Christmas

So we have taken to writing our Christmas letter online again this year, it is the only way that I can guarantee that it will get done.
Sam is in 2nd grade this year and doing great. Her teacher is always commenting on what a bright child that she is. She is a huge help and is always helping me with Josh.
Lexi is a little ball of fireworks, she can makes me laugh and cry all day long. She started preschool this year and loves to be able to go three times a week to play with friends.
Josh joined our family in June and we can not imagine life without him. I am afraid that he is going to be the most spoiled little boy. We love to just sit around and stare at him. His sisters adore him and he already knows that he has them wrapped around his little finger.
Steve is almost done with his MBA, only 6 more months. He is doing awesome and never complains about his heavy load. He has just recently been transferred to a new position in his work, Director of Internet Marketing. He has been wanting this change for some time and he is very excited for the future of this position in the company.
I have cut my hours at the gym and although I miss teaching I do not miss dragging the kids back and forth from the gym. I love being a mom, even in the most frustrating moments I can not help but smile. I can not imagine finding joy that even compares to that of raising children. They are my high points and my low points, they make me want to be a better person, and they teach me unconditional love.
We are so thankful for this season that we celebrate our Saviours birth. I am so thankful to my Saviour for the trials and the victories that we have had, for the never ending love I feel when I go to my knees. I am so thankful for the gospel and the peace and happiness it brings to us.
Have a wonderful Christmas and beautiful New Year.
