Merry Christmas!

Deciding to skimp out on sending the family photo and Christmas card took a load off. It is not that we don't think of all of you often, but with Ladd's schedule it was pretty much impossible to find a time to get a professional (yes, Stacey, you are a professional!) photograph of our family. So here are the boys on the couch in their matching sweaters. I really tried to get a picture in front of the tree, but the smallest Hoyal refused to cooperate. And it was one of those "pick your battles" moment. He won!

Next semester (yes, Ladd is STILL in school - MBA) Ladd will not have class on Saturdays, so we should be able to actually see him long enough to take his picture. So you can all look forward to a holiday card (if I have your current address), including a family picture and update letter, that will come during some holiday other than Christmas. So even though you may not get a card from us in the mail this Christmas, we still want to wish you all a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy 2009!

AMEN, SISTER! I also decided to give up on getting all of us in one picture. It's like wrangling monkeys.
My christmas card was two out of focus pictures.
Next year, though!!
