I'm too cheap to mail this to you all...actually I'm usually too lazy to even make one but we wanted to include a little letter in our package to our grandparents and then I was too tired to add pictures but I found a template in one of my programs and here you go (I'm rambling!!!) And I honestly didn't spend time and thought on it so I hope it makes sense! Enjoy! :)
Okay, it didn't work (it was too blurry to read) so here is the text and maybe soon I'll get a few cute pictures up....
Merry Christmas from the Ahlstroms!!!
We’ve had an exciting and busy year! In May we moved to a much larger apartment here in Davis. On August 11 our little Amy joined our family. She is so beautiful! Amy loves her big sisters, and they are having fun holding her and getting her to smile and laugh. Meagan just turned three and is such a doll! She LOVES to tease and to do funny things to get people to laugh at her. Although she had quite the adjustment to being the only big girl at home during school hours I think she is learning to love her special time with Mommy. Emily started kindergarten! She absolutely LOVES it and can’t wait for the weekends to be over so she can go back. She has learned all of her zoo phonics sounds and likes to remind us that she is a “zoo phonics princess.” Mary started first grade…already! She is so grown up. She had a tough adjustment going from half day kindergarten to full day first grade but is doing really well in school and loves reading and jump rope club. It is so fun to watch them grow up! I love Saturdays when we are all home together…I love my family! Jon just had his first publication in his hands this last week! He wrote a chapter for a text book and they sent him a copy of the book…YEA!! His research is going really well and his research should be ready to publish this next year. He still loves his job and the work he is doing. He has fun doing “lego star wars” (a computer game) and legos with his girls and they love going on Saturday morning bike rides with him. I am busy as ever and loving it! I am getting into a better routine making sure each of my little girls gets the attention they need and getting house work done. Mary loves to doing “sewing” with me, Emily loves to scrapbook and Meagan loves to be tickled. J I have fun with them and even find time to scrapbook with friends and other activities to keep me going. Jon is still the ward mission leader and I was just called as the stake music coordinator. We love our life, our family and the joy the gospel brings us and look forward to another exciting year with our girls! We love you all and wish you a Merry Christmas and fabulous New Year!!! Love, the Ahlstroms

Grandma Ahlstrom has a sledding hill in her back yard - the girls helped Daddy and Uncle Mark most of one morning forming a hill that turned at the bottom and had a jump in the middle - it was lots of fun!!!
