Tis the SEASON!

There is something about the holidays that make me want to pull out my paints and get extra creative. Here is the family newsletter poem I wrote that we mailed out to family and friends. Okay, it's pretty cheesy, but I had fun :)
-------------------------------------------

Merry Christmas Dear Family and Friends!
What a wonderful year has come to an end!
For us this has been the greatest year yet
No, we didn’t get a new job, or a promotion or pet,
Or a pedicure or a broken leg,
Nor did we discover a dinosaur egg.
Or swim to Hawaii or buy blue suede,
Nor hire a juggling Bulgarian maid.
Or hug a baboon,
Or enter the circus,
Or spell slophapologaloopus.
Nor eat Gorgonzola, feta or Brie,
Or blow bubbles in chamomile tea.
Or pet a fox,
Or cuddle a bear,
Nor do something quite drastic to our hair.
Or build a skyscraper out of wax---
BUT we did welcome the baby MAX!
That’s right! I indeed typed that correctly
He his the cutest baby, and I mean that directly
He loves to giggle and smile, snuggle and poo,
Oh what in the world are enamored parents to do?
I really apologize if I seem apt to brag
But as new parents we are gladdest of glad
We are overjoyed and are living in bliss
Max’s cheeks are the most fun to kiss
Diapers galore but it’s never a bore
He is the world’s most adorable chore!
So there you have it! Our greatest Christmas gift!
It came in July, but you catch my drift..
We are so happy, all of us three
To wish you a Christmas of joy, wonder and glee!
Remember the babe born long ago
Into the Savior of the World, He did grow
Build your life like His on selfless acts,
And your life, we promise, will be right on track!
And just as St. Nicolas said as he rode out of sight,
Merry Christmas to all,
And to all a goodnight!

 Love,
                                              Quinton, Ariel and Max Cole
