We survived the Nutcracker

Hey everybody,

First of all, let me apologize for the lack of communication the last little while. We have been eating, drinking and sleeping Nutcracker. However, I am happy to announce that we are done. The kids were so freaking adorable. Sitting in the audience watching them, I actually was thinking this was all worth it. Wow! is all I have to say. I am grateful it is over, Cora is grateful it is over, and Brigham cried all the way home wishing it was not over. Overall, I would recommend this kind of thing for your kids. It is a wonderful experience. Here are some pictures to enjoy.

Thankful

This will be short and sweet. I just wanted to let each of you know how grateful I am to be a part of this family. Each of you bless my life more than I can express in words. I often think how amazing it is that there are so many of us and yet we are all friends and have love and respect for one another. It is a truly unique thing we have been blessed with as a family and I hope that we never allow personal wants and views to interfere with what we have been blessed with.

I love you all and miss you all so much.

Congratulations McCormack. I'm proud of you and sooooo excited for you to serve your mission. You are in for a treat!

Oh and things are still really great for me :)! Wish me (and Christian) luck during finals -I've been so distracted lately that I need all the luck I can get.

Lots of love,
Kara
