Merry Christmas…from Chicago! We moved to Wheaton, just outside of Chicago last year. We’re learning to deal with the cold weather, and the kids love the snow already. Wheaton is a great community with close access to the city, good schools and great neighbors.
Austin is now 10 and continues to explore new activities. He loves to read, play sports, especially soccer and basketball, and is growing like crazy. His big accomplishment this year is being able to wear dad’s shoes – and having them fit (size 11)!
Kiersten turned 8 this year, and was baptized into the church. She is playing the piano, reading a ton and taking care of her little brother and sister. She has made lots of new friends, but misses being close to the beach.
Brandon, our 5 year old is such a sweet kid. He consistently thinks of others and is a joy to have around. He and Reagan are great friends and he looks out for her. We live a few houses away from his friend Davis, making Brandon very happy.
Reagan is 18 months now and is starting to establish her position in the family. She is a strong willed girl and keeps the others in line. She is quick to laugh and as quick to lay her head on your shoulder. We love having her in the family.
Marci and I stay busy running around with the kids and serving in the church. We like Wheaton and look forward to getting to know the area better. We’re thankful for our many friends and family members, their love and support. We’re mostly grateful for our Savior and hope each of you has a moment to consider him as we celebrate his birth.
With Love ,
the Smiths
