Our Christmas letter that never made it to our Christmas cards...

Dear Friends and Family,

We hope this letter finds you well and enjoying the start of the Christmas Season.  We decided to write our first “Annual Christmas Letter” .  It’s hard to believe that 2012 is coming to an end but it’s always fun to think back to the year past.

Chris very recently decided to resign from his position with Bank of America and will be contracting with JP Chase for the next several months starting December 3^rd.  He truly enjoyed his time with the Bank but after 3 and half years he felt it was time to pursue other opportunities.  Chris has spent a little less time on the lake this year than normal while he tries his hand at a few new hobbies (like he needed anymore J ).  This year he purchased a dove lease and had several good hunting days in the start of the season.  Chase was always eager to gear up and go out with Daddy to keep him company and help him spot the dove. 

Misty stays busy with the house, two active little boys and Chris.  She jokes that she is need of a 12 step program for her pinterest addiction.  She is constantly trying new recipes, home remedy or heading to hobby lobby to pick up supplies for another project.   

Chase is now three and a half and looks more and more like a “Big Boy” and less like our baby every day.    He started his first year of Mother’s Day out in the fall at Fairfield Baptist Church and really looks forward to his 2 days a week there.  It’s such a joy to see the fun things he makes and him tell us about the bible stories he learns about at “school”.  He is still our shy and timid one but I can tell this year he is easing out of his shell.

Wyatt turned one in September and we celebrated with a “big top circus” party in the back yard.  Little brother however doesn't realize he is only 1 because he wants and attempts to do everything big brother does.  Mommy and Daddy have their work out for them!  Wyatt is easy going and has no fears. He is such a happy baby and loves to dance and listen to music.  I think we own half of Toy R Us but his favorite toys are my pampered chef strainer which he uses to catch/throw balls, the broom which he pulls out of the pantry every chance he gets and his tooth brush which he also sneaks out and carries around the house. 

We are so grateful for our many blessings and look forward to seeing what God has planned for us in 2013!
