Merry Christmas loved ones! This year, we have found ourselves in a situation that many of you understand. Let us paint you a picture to help rouse up some good ol’ memories... Our floor is littered with toys and cheerios; there is a happy squawking and thumping of feet throughout the student apartment at BYU; and there are two very tired, but happy parents.
Suze is the reigning undefeated champion of Mario Party, and in her spare time occupies herself studying under the zen masters of scrapbooking (no better place than Provo!). She feels that her purpose in life has been fulfilled by teaching Alex to dance. Apparently, she also feels like dancing is a skill found lacking in her male counterpart… ***cough*** Anyhow, she loves the snow, and has been living life to its fullest this past year.
Matt still believes he is a superhero and has resumed his ninja training (hiyaaa!). Much to Suze’s surprise he has even found a friend in the process. Now, Matt can be found throughout the week training in Shotokan Karate. Unfortunately, he hasn’t yet found a friend who enjoys talking about stocks, bonds, options, and economics as much as he does.
For Alex, this past year has represented the vast majority of his life! He has learned to rollover, crawl, walk, run, dance, feed himself, amuse himself… wreak havoc, and flirt with girls. Alex generally has no fear of strangers, but this past month we discovered his one arch enemy, Darth Vader. We, also, discovered that Alex had a secret girlfriend (…keeping secrets from his mommy…). One Sunday, a cute little girl just came and stood face to face with him and plunked a big kiss on his lips and even came back for a second (that’s my boy!). We enjoy his wonderful spirit and his tendency to scream like a little girl, what a great kid.
We hope you saw a little bit of what our year was like, and learned a little something about our family. Once again, have a merry Christmas and a happy New Year!
