Merry Christmas!

Here is a copy of our Christmas letter and our Picture.




The Cole Family
By Dallin
This has been an exciting year for our family. We have gone on a few trips this year and spent a lot of quality time as a family. First we went to Yellowstone and had lots of fun smelling sulfur pits and watching water boil. We also went to Lake Powell and had a great time there. Kai, Tate, and Myself all got stuck on a cliff for a few hours. It had a nice lovely view of the water 150ft below. Tate now has an exercise movie out called “Great Calves in 5 hours” based in this experience. Our third trip was to Disneyland, California Adventures, and Six Flags. That was a blast! We had sooo much fun on X-2! It was so nuts that I can’t wait to go back with my physics class next year.
Other than being kind of a dufus, Logan has been doing pretty well this year. He is a freshman, and has kept himself busy with sports. He played tennis during the fall season this year and did pretty well. He has also been wrestling. He is doing really well. He won the city title for his weight class in eighth grade. He also was sixth in the state for his age group in freestyle. So far on the Poston team he is undefeated. He also went to Washington D.C. with the Close up Foundation, and saw many of the cool sites in our nation’s great capital.
I have had a great senior year so far. Besides being a boss, I have kept busy working hard on the wrestling team. We have a great team this year and should do really well in state. I have done a lot in the past year. One of the big things was the week of chill and grills during spring break. It was a lot of fun and we all got great tans. I went to a wrestling camp over the summer with my team and had a lot of fun. I was also in a little rock band for a little bit but it didn’t work out and I got kick out. I took culinary arts this semester and cooked a lot of tasty food. I had a blast and hope to do more cooking in my own kitchen. I also got an awesome Toyota Corolla. It’s a stick shift and I really enjoy driving it.
Brenn graduated this last school year, and is know going to ASU! She is having a lot of fun being a COLLEGE STUDENT!!! She also got a new car, a Jeep Liberty, and she loves it. She is taking some art class and has made some really cool projects. She graduated from massage therapy school in May, and loves having that job skill. She moved into Grandma and Grandpa Cole’s house while they were in Utah, and loved living on her own, but now is back here with us. Her headaches are improving (hurray!) and she is slowing starting to not be afraid of her Single’s Ward and RM’s in general.
Mom and Dad are getting OLD, but they don’t think so. They have been doing good. Mom has had a lot to do chasing kids, puppies, and grandma. Mom loves teaching Logan’s Sunday school class. She also writes a great, entertaining blog (k2cole.blogspot.com). My favorite part is the cinnamon rolls every Tuesday for me and my friends. Dad has really enjoyed working with the teachers at church. He works at AECOM and enjoys what he does. He got to work on the spaceport in New Mexico.
All in all, our family has had a great year and are hoping to have a better one next year!
P.S. BAH HUMBUG!!!
