Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays

2012  We have truly been blessed

Five beautiful children make for a full nest

We gather together both morning and night

And thank Heavenly Father with all of our might

We had a surprise when Derek when chopping

An ax in his foot caused for plenty of hopping

Three days in the hospital made for a humble man

But back without missing a day’s work was part of his plan

Laura finally published The Memory Catcher, her first book

Look on Amazon.com or at Deseret Book to read the hook

She blogs at www.mydeartrash.com; stays busy and thrifty

Plus stocking her space at Qcumberz and Antique Plaza is nifty

Size 12 foot for Chandler, a teenager he has become

His 7^th grade basketball team city championship was won

Payson plays tennis, draws comics and scooters with his friends

Usually he’s still out having fun when the day ends

An image of Tony Hawk, Mayer has turned skater this year

With skateboards and ramps and grinders and cheer

Reef loves preschool and always has something happy to say

He loves eating chicken and with his friend Jackson he does play

Eden is girly, loves princesses and glitter

She dances in the living room and is all a flitter

Reef, Mayer and Eden broke out in chicken pox while vacationing in Flagstaff

That summer adventure had all its own mishaps

The beach we did travel, Disneyland and Mickey Mouse

But we’re always happy to come back to our house.

There is so much beauty we see on this earth

We are grateful for Jesus and celebrate His birth
