After the last 10 or so years of long hair, I am ready for a change. I am excited about my new do. Ben took this picture of me. He loves taking pictures just like his Dad.

Nate on our fun cross country ski date behind our house.
Nate put lots of snow in the middle of our driveway circle and made a really fun sled run. We all are having a great time on it with Ben's new sled from Grandma.
I just didn't get around to a Christmas letter this year. I guess this will have to be a poor substitute. We are well and staying plenty busy with life.
I was getting back to organizing pictures and I found these quotes from the kids from the last year.
Emily: After chatting with Aunt Jill for just a minute, "Can I hand the phone over to my mom yet?"
Ben while in car with Jill while she was making a u-turn commented in GPS language about her driving. "Did you type in all around the town Jill?"
Emily: I served canned beets on a salad to which she said "I don't like beets." I said, "yes you do, we grow them in the garden and you love to eat them." She replied "Yes, but not these cooped up ones from the store."

Ben: I told him not to get too full on dinner or he wouldn't have any room for dessert (what a healthy Mom I am), and he happily commented "I hungry up pretty fast."
Everything Deven says at 3 is adorable to me, so I can't quote everything he says and do it justice without his cute voice. He loves telling me that he's a big boy. He calls white, "wipe" and the other kids think that's hilarious.
That sums up what's new and old this year.
