Merry Christmas!- Our Christmas Card to you :)

 Well there is only one day until Christmas so I guess I had better write our families Christmas letter.  We have had a wonderful year, there have been so many blessings for our family.

Peter started back to school this year.  He is working towards his Master's in Public Administration at Evergreen State College.  So far he loves it and is really looking forward to some exciting research he will get to do later this year.  He is working at Department of liscensing for the State of WA, so if you get a DUI you might find yourself talking to a familiar person on the end of the line!

 I have been staying home with the girls again this year.  I am so lucky to be able to be home with my girls.  I love to read and cook and make crafts.  The girls keep me pretty busy, but I try to make time for all the things I like to do too :)

 We celebrated our 6th anniversary this August.  All we wanted was to walk around downtown in all the little shops that we can't go into with small children and to go out to eat at a restaurant that didn't bring crayons to the table along with our menu.  We had a great anniversary!

 Violet turned 4 this year.  She is in her second year of Pre school and we are all getting excited about Kindergarten next year!  She goes to speech therapy once a week and loves her time with Allison.  She has been making amazing progress in her speech abilities and we expect her to be all caught up by the end of the school year.  We are so proud of her she is such a little trooper.  She is also making great progress with her braces to correct her toe walking, she is walking correctly much more often now.   Violet has an amazing imagination and loves to pretend to be a princess, of course her favorite part is bossing us around like we are her subjects.

Claire turned 2 this summer, and she loves to be home with her Mom!  Claire is our little daredevil child and loves to climb everything and when she reaches the top she usually jumps off.  Claire loves to play with Violet and can't wait to pick V up from school each day. Claire loves to play cars and she especially loves whales.  Claire asks to have her nails painted pink every day, she loves it so much and she will show everyone she comes across her pretty pink nails.

Merry Christmas from the West Oly Coriers!  We have had such a great year and we hope you all have a great 2012, we look forward to great things this year.
