Christmas Cards…the Digital Way!

I was never very good at sending out the Annual Christmas Card complete with photo and update on each member of the family.  But now that I have found blogging and Smilebox…

I am so on top of it this year!

Wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

(and in case you can’t read what is on the Smilebox, I have put it below as well)

 

What a great year we have had at the Schaff house. It came with its ups and downs as every year does. But at the end we are all happy and healthy and very grateful for this time of year. We hope that this finds each of you doing well this holiday season. Here is a little update on each of us...

Chloe (age 3) She is a little charmer. She loves princesses and can't decide if Cinderella is the favorite or Belle. She is working on being a big girl using the potty and doing things " my by-a self". She has a play group every week with all the little girls in the neighborhood and can't wait for Avery to get home from school every day.

Avery (age 6) She is in first grade this year and is learning that it is sometimes hard to grow up. Being in school a full day has been hard because there is not much time to play! "It's just too long being there!" she says. However, she is doing very well and loves to read. She is even starting to enjoy the math too. She is still enjoying her dance class and has started piano lessons and loves that even more than dance. She lost 4 teeth this year...the tooth fairy is tapped out!

Hallie is enjoying her time at home...when she gets to stay home! She is serving in the Relief Society as the 1st Counselor and is over the weekday activities. This keeps her busy, especially this time of year. She has decided that exercise is not too bad as long as the weather is nice and there is good conversation. She enjoys doing some volunteer tutoring with students from Avery's class once a week in reading. She's ready for her long winter's nap!

Stephen is still working for ARUP and still loves his job. He is currently a teacher in the Elder's Quorum and actually finds that he likes it. He loves spending time with his girls and has brought back the popular Schaff Family Animal game. He enjoys playing x-box on line with brother David and friends and the occasional monster hunt on the Wii with Paul.

Merry Christmas...we love you all!
