My Christmas Letter

When I was a younger we used to love getting Christmas cards in the mail & reading the Christmas letters that accompanied them. We would hear about other families & friends that we only saw every so often. So for the past few years I have not gotten it together enough to put my own family letter together - no great excuses - just couldn't get it together.

This is my Christmas letter to share the joy of the season, miracles of the holidays & the love of our family!

Dear Friends & Family,

What a fun year we have had in the Martin house! Our blue house has been full of laughter . . . and trains & cars & crafts & homework & the list goes on. We are having a blast!

SuperHubby is still working in the construction industry, but working in the pre-bid/business development side of the operation. He has secured many great jobs for his company. He has had a lot of football fun this Fall with our AU Tigers & is still waiting for a miracle with some Nat'l. Championship tickets attached.

Baylor is a sweet, spunky (a little bit sassy) 7 year old. She did ballet in the Spring & soccer in the Fall. She is basically a SuperStar at whatever she does - seriously. She is in first grade & reading at a fourth grade level & would read late into the night if I would let her. She has sweet friends & I am loving having a little girl more each year.

WFM5 will be 5 in a few weeks! He also did soccer this Fall & LOVED it! He played with his 2 best buds & we all had too much fun. He has also enjoyed the trips to AU & is waiting to receive a call from Coach Chizik to see when he can play for the Tigers. (We are stil trying to explain to him that he needs to put on about 190 lbs.) We have so many great ideas for his upcoming b'day!

Baby Whitty is technically no longer a baby - he is a big boy 3 year old. He is OBSESSED with AU football. Most days you can find him in his #34 jersey (Bo Jackson) & he will only answer to Bo Jackson. He plays trains, football guys & cars & then repeats. He loves his momma & his jersey, maybe in backward order.

Me & my Volvo wagon just putter around suburbia & watch soccer & buy birthday presents for all the parties we go to. I love my husband & these first 10 years of marriage have been full & fun! I did not get a new niece or nephew this year, but maybe my sisters will come through for me next year. We love us some cousins inthis house!

I pray our Christmas cards came to your houses that are as full as ours. I stole the pic from my sister's wedding & picked it because it showed 3 little, precious personalities.

Have a MERRY CHRISTMAS! My prayers for you are a fullness of grace & love.

Love, Jocelyn
