Merry Christmas!



Christmas 2009

We have joy in our faith, joy in our friends and joy in our family. Joy in music, joy in love and joy in the gospel of Christ. This has been a joyful year for us. Some highlights are: house redecorating and finishing, Rachel’s group taking 2nd place in Tech Fair, soccer games, swimming lessons, attending the Mt. Oquirrh temple open house, family reunions, a hot air balloon ride, gardening with the new drip system Tim installed, chaperoning an overnight school trip to the mountains, attending Wicked in Denver, recitals for violin, flute, piano, harp and a partridge in a pear tree.

Tim enjoys his job and calling at church. He is the ward mission leader and is very busy with all the ward missionary efforts. Carolyn stays busy with the girls, running the house and her photography business. She is now the1st councilor in Relief Society at church and really enjoys working with the ladies in the ward.

Rachel is 11 and started middle school this year. She is in honors classes, the drama club and choir. She enjoys her classes most of the time but says there is just a lot of homework. Sarah and Emily are 9 years old and are in 4th grade. They both sing in the school choir and also continue in their music lessons. Laura is three and so the world still revolves around her. She is looking forward to preschool next year. She keeps us laughing and is growing up too fast.

We hope you find joy in this Christmas Season!

Love,
The Turners
