Ho Ho Ho! Merry Christmas!

Dear Family and Friends,

In my haste to get our Christmas card out early in the season this year, which I was excited that I accomplished, I totally forgot to write our letter! I’m a dork. So here we go.

We have been very blessed this year. We are healthy and safe. Jarom’s business is growing. We welcomed a sweet new baby to our family. And we are loved and blessed with wonderful family and friends (that’s you!)

Easton – We welcomed Easton to our family in September. He is literally a little “bundle of joy”. He is 12 weeks old and loves smiling faces and singing. He will sing and talk right back to you! Isaac loves to hold him; Emmett loves to sing to him; and both are very gentle big brothers (to my relief).

Emmett turned 2 this summer. He is adored by all who know him as he instantly wins them over with his sweetness and is very social. He is quite the little chatter box as his vocabulary is growing by leaps and bounds. Emmett loves to play with cars, drum on anything that makes noise, color, and play in the sandbox. He is a ray of sunshine!

Isaac turned 4 in September. He is still very passionate in all he does. He loves his Sunbeam class in primary at church, especially Sister Johnson who loves him and ALWAYS has treats for him. He started preschool in the fall and has fun doing cooking projects, having teddy bear picnics, and for Christmas he is VERY excited to wear his PJs as they board the Polar Express and drink hot chocolate! Isaac loves to go camping, fly his RC helicopter, drive Daddy’s rock crawler, and he loves to draw, paint, glue and cut, and his is the official “battery changer” of the house.

Jarom has been working hard in his IT business and is partnering to create a new company that specializes in server migrations at the beginning of the New Year. He continues to work with the Young Men at church planning their activities which this year included a giant plastic ball to walk on water (picture a hamster ball), hiking the Narrows top to bottom, Jeeping, and an aqua bike. He loves it, and those boys are lucky to have him! He is a great Daddy and husband and we are lucky to have him too!

I enjoy being home with my boys. They ware me out EVERY DAY, but I love them to pieces. I am coming to terms with the fact that I am cannot keep up with the tornado of diapers and crumbs on the floor without spending the whole day cleaning, and have decided to swallow my pride; so if you drop in, you’ve been warned. I spent the majority of the year working with the women in Relief Society at church helping to plan our meetings, but have recently been assigned to work in the Primary. I am excited for the change and love the sweetness of the children.

We put our backyard in this spring and are SOOOOO happy to have a safe and fun place to play and enjoy the sun. The boys LOVE the sandbox and swings. I love the grass. Jarom loves that it is done.

We are grateful for the holiday season as it brings us back in touch with friends and family outside of our daily hubbub, and for our Savior Jesus Christ who gives purpose to everyday and season. We love you all and are grateful for the joy you add to our life. You can see picture highlights of our year at www.Renfeldt.com.

With much love,

The Renfeldts- Jarom, Rachel, Isaac, Emmett, & Easton
