Here is our Christmas Letter in a poem this year. It is called 'A Sleepless Night,' written by Tanya, and edited by Eric. May your hearts be filled with love from whom it swells freely from- Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
I know it would have been a sleepless night,
For me and you and all that would have been tucked in tight.
Thinking that we should be asleep,
For our bodies knew that our faith was too deep.
Staring at the stars in the sky,
Knowing that our Lord would be coming from on high.
The excitement would be in the air,
We would feel the energy all over and into our hair.
"The Lord is coming tonight,
Everyone get up and see the light."
How could we sleep on such a night as this,
Or would it be a moment that would be amiss?
Tossing and turning we thought, "No how could that be?"
For we knew that the time was soon, for we could clearly see.
We could not let this night pass us by,
We got up and followed the star in the sky.
Knowing that we were not as worthy as we should be,
We knew he would love us, and would help set us free.
As we came to his side,
We felt something that we could not hide.
It was the feeling of a redeeming love,
That made us look into heaven above.
With reverence and awe,
We knew what we saw.
We knew what we felt,
It was as though our hearts had melt.
All the unpleasant and unkind feelings were gone,
And were replaced with a redeeming love song.
We have been trying with all our might,
To hold on to sing that song to never loose sight.
As we remember this sleepless night,
Let us always be a witness of that Incredible Light.
-Merry Christmas 2010

Hey guys! Thanks for the yummy treats. They were delicious! We wished we could bring you some of ours but we don't know where you live now, and we aren't even in the same stake anymore so we can't look you up! Feel free to visit our blog if you want. I think you can just click on my name and it will go to it.
