Christmas Greetings

It's a family tradition to send out photo greeting cards each year. If you are interested in viewing cards from the past 30 plus years, I posted them in 2011. CLICK HERE
Just promise you don't laugh at the peach-colored outfits of 1988!

Let's get up to date!


2012
Four out of five of our children had babies in 2012 and the fifth was expecting!




 2013
Love this snowy view of the Salt Lake Temple. 


2014 Our 2014 card features a jumping Kylie on the front. Look at that hair fly!


And inside, our fourteen precious grand elves and one little rein dog (not in any particular order.) We never could get everyone together! We hauled the photo equipment,white background, and all the red and green outfits we could collect to Emily's home in Dillon, Montana and took half of the pictures there during our Thanksgiving holiday, then hauled it all back home again to take the other half. Each "elf" was photographed individually then masterfully combined by Potts.


I wish you could see this bigger. It is delightful!


Potts also made cards for each of our children's families. Now's a good time to tell you a little bit about them.
These are Jenni (and Mark's) children - Lucy 2, Sadie 6, and Payton 9. They live in Covington, WA where Mark works for Boeing and Jenni teaches violin and served as Concert Master for the Ensign Orchestra.


Here are David (and Katie's) five. Lily 8, Tate 4 months, Oakley 2, Kylie 6, and Paisley 4. They were so excited to welcome a little boy to the family this year. They live in Eagle Mountain. David teaches Math at American Fork High School and Katie teaches dance part time.


Michael (and Desiree) have three little ones, Evylee 6, Ethan 4, and Aiden 2. A baby boy, Quinton Randolph will join their family on Jan. 7, 2015, if not sooner. Michael and Dez also live in Eagle Mountain and Michael works for the glasses division of 1-800 Contacts as a programmer.


Here are Emily (and Joe's) boys, A.J. 3 and Andy 1 1/2. They just moved from Virginia to Montana this year where Joe is an attorney. Emily fits right in with her braids, plaid shirts, and cowboy boots. 


This is Audrey (and Matthew's) Adalynn 2, Addy for short. They live in Orem. Matthew has one more semester in his MPA program at BYU, then who knows where they will end up? I'm praying right here in Utah.
