OUR FAMILY CHRISTMAS LETTER 2006:


Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas…...

We hope that you have had a blessed year, and that this letter meets you in good health and happiness! We have had a FUN time together as a family this year, and would love to share a short update about the good times and the not so good…

Judd has had a year of WORK!! (And that’s the way he likes it!) His company is so busy, that we rarely see him. With the job of Varsity Scout Coach, and YM Sunday School teacher, he is also busy with camping, YM activities, and trying to keep up with his two sons. He is our hero, and we love him for working so hard for our family.
He had the opportunity to take our family on a trip to Disneyland in April, and he enjoyed having a week off work. He also was able to take 3 days off to go deer hunting in South Eastern Utah, with his Dad and brother Kyle. They packed in with horses, on snow covered mountains, and camped two nights. They nearly froze to death, but they had a great time!

Keiauni is keeping herself busy with two BOYS to look after. The boys are the center of her scrapbooking and photography hobbies. She enjoys being Primary secretary, and also being the “home skills” specialist for the Relief Society’s Enrichment activities. She is also compiling a ward cookbook. This year she has decided to create an “Old Fashioned Christmas” at home, and is excited to decorate, bake, and celebrate the “old fashioned way.” Keiauni has been enjoying the winter for the 1st time in her life! She had her tonsils taken out in late August, and hasn’t been sick since!! (the three weeks of MISERY after the surgery, were completely worth it!!)

Elijah (6) has had a great year. He LOVES kindergarten. He LOVES girls!! (Eeewww!)
He is an artist, and spends most of his time drawing. He can draw ANYTHING!! We have been shocked at what he can create with any type of medium. He is an animal lover, and wants Grandpa Steve to bring him “a real horse for my birthday.”
He also LOVES to work! (Chip off the ‘ol block…) Sometimes Judd takes Eli to work with him, and is so proud that he is so helpful! He doesn’t mess around. He gets down to business, and loves being given jobs. He enjoyed a fun Soccer season this fall, with cousin Derek as the coach, and Dad (Judd) as an assistant. Eli also loves to take things apart, and try to figure out how they work. (Uh-oh!) He loves to help Mom in the kitchen, and likes to watch the Food Network. We love this kid!!

Asher (4) keeps us entertained. He is always SO BUSY, trying to make people laugh. He LOVES video games, and singing. He attends preschool 3 days a week. He loves our new kitten “Maggie Boo”, and carries her around with him, as much as she will tolerate it. He enjoyed soccer this year, but was more likely to be seen “dancing” on the field, than kicking the ball….he still scored a few! Ash is a CLOWN. He loves to make silly jokes, and tease everyone in our family. He likes to go for car rides with Grandpa Dave, and asks that we have Grandpa pick him up from school. Asher’s favorite color is GREEN, and he likes everyone to know it. He still comes in and jumps in bed with us at night at 3:00am (Because E.T. might be outside our house!) and likes to snuggle. We love our little man!

We hope to hear from you this Christmas, and hope that you have a blessed New Year!

Love,

The Beagley Family
