Merry Christmas to All!
We want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas. We hope you enjoy reading about what we have been up to this year through a clever way I stole from a friend (thanks Kristen!).
Here are a few of our favorite things from 2007! Thank you to all our friends and family for the love and happiness you share with us.
T: playing with The Girl and enjoying more firsts, partying with M (even if it's just the two of us), working with a bunch of fun guys, passing CFA Level III exam, watching The Office, hosting Trading Group parties, getting a PS3 and playing NCAA Football, watching Angels baseball, playing Diamond Mind Baseball (nerdier than fantasy baseball), cheering for the Cougars, getting psyched for an heir to the Wolfe name in '08, traveling to NY, FL, CA, and SC for work to grill utility CEOs and CFOs, all-time best vacation at Lake Powell, picking up racquetball again, duck hunting for the first time and bringing home a mallard (The Girl petted it before Daddy cut off its head), starting to watch House, betting pints of Ben and Jerry's with co-workers, learning to be a better husband and father, and looking forward to a great Christmas with family in California!
M: learning to quilt, watching The Girl laugh, a week of summer fun at Laguna Beach, relaxing at Lake Powell with family and friends (so lucky to have Shannon come too!), teaching The Girl new songs, shopping, playing games with T or just spending time together, cheesecake, preparing for a baby boy, serving in my church and helping out friends, cooking up new treats, meeting my two new nephews, massages and pampering, spending a fun Thanksgiving weekend with my family in Utah, watching a great Cougar victory against the Utes, dreaming of going on a cruise, being appreciated, Godiva, hearing The Girl say "I love you", Ts kiss good-bye each morning, flowers, game night with friends, eating out, watching the stars, making a difference, reading a great book, and having a reason to get dressed up.
The Girl: jumping, running, climbing, sliding, gummy bears, Curious George, laughing, singing, painting, drawing, playing with play-doh, Dora, playing with other kids at the park, suckers, going to the zoo, mixing and pouring, playing games on the "puter", playing with stickers, going to my first Angels' baseball game, jelly beans, reading stories, playing in my sand box, going to nursery time at church, dancing, playing Hide-and-Go-Seek, gum, lots and lots of stuffed animals, feeding my dollies, brushing my teeth, Mama painting my nails, "pink" milk, sprinkles, swimming (Mommy and Me class at YMCA and especially at Lake Powell), ABC's, Elmo's World, having a tea party, Super Why (PBS kids show), Mama singing me songs at night, fireworks!, our fishies, calling daddy at work, presents, center of attention, tickles, puddles, "snipping" with scissors, puzzles, helping Mama, and making others laugh.

It's Beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
On Saturday we went to the Botanical Gardens. They had their gardens all lit up with Christmas lights. Santa was there and one of his reindeer! The Girl really likes to sit on Santa's lap now. She told Santa she wanted a yellow flute but then corrected herself and said "I already have one at home. I want treats!" We loved walking around looking at all the lights and hearing the choir sing Christmas songs. It even started to snow really lightly. It was totally wonderful!

The Yellow Flute
The Girl got to see Santa on Saturday at our Ward Christmas party. She was not afraid of him at all. She smiled and sat on his lap. He asked her what she wanted and she said, "a lellow flute."Here's the story behind that. Earlier this week we were shopping and she found this yellow recorder and carried around the whole store asking me to open it so she could play with it, etc. I finally told her that we had to put it back, but that she could ask Santa for it for Christmas. She wasn't too happy about it and cried as we were leaving the store. Well, she remembered!!!
Our neighbor Sara heard about what she asked for from Santa so later this week she brought The Girl an early Christmas gift. It was a yellow recorder. The Girl loves playing it and I try to tell her it is really pretty when she blows softly, though I don't think she believes me.
