Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

This year has been such an amazing, and challenging year. Looking back we have so much to be thankful for, the Lord has truly blessed our family.

Bret continues working as the sports graphic designer for Nutraceutical and is just loving it. He has come up with some amazing things for his companies. He truly has such an amazing talent. He also continues to work in the young men's program as the First Councilor and loves it. We are so blessed so have such a great father and husband. Sadly, we lost his grandfather, Coly, just shortly after Aly was born. It was a very hard time for our whole family. Coly was an amazing example for our family and will be missed.

Coulson continues to grow rapidly and still keeps both of his parents VERY busy. He loves cooking, reading, trucks & tractors, airplanes, bugs, running, and so much more. He is quite the active little boy. He has such a creative imagination and we just love his little personality. He is also our little challenge with everything! He is constantly trying to out think us to get around being disciplined. We just love our happy little whirlwind.

Alyson Jo joined our family on October 14 after a very long and challenging nine months. She is such a joy and our most challenging baby yet. We love her so much. The most wonderful thing is the bond that her and her big brother already share. It never ceases to amaze me how they act together. No one can get her to smile and talk like Cole can. He is also very good at getting her to stop crying when she is fussy. In my heart I know that they were the best of friends in Heaven. What a miracle our kids are to our lives. Who ever knew you could love two little spirits so much.

As for myself, I am keeping busy with my two wonderful children. I just LOVE being a stay at home mom and can't imagine any other way. I continue to work with the Webelos in our ward and just love it.

We hope that your year has been as amazing as ours and we look forward to the upcoming year and everything it holds for us. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We love you all.

Love,
Bret, erin, Coulson (2 1/2), and Alyson (2 months)
