Merry Christmas!!

We just wanted to wish you all a Very Merry Christmas! I thought I would do a quick year review at the Neubert house! It has been a good year and has gone by much to fast. Jake is keeping busy with his new job and his church calling. He is still the same easy going fun guy! He still wishes he could play the guitar and enjoys anything in the great outdoors. Jake mostly just enjoys a quiet night with the family! He is still in Young Mens which keeps him busy. As for me not to much to report (I know-so exciting huh??) I am still working at the Beehive home and really enjoy my 11 old lady friends! I hope I can grow old as gracefully as my friends have-I sure love them!! I take care of the kids and always have my little pal (Madelynn) with me! I keep plenty busy doing all that Mom stuff and enjoy the time with my family! Matthew is growing up to fast. He is 12 and enjoys playing Video games and listening to music and even enjoys school. He also enjoys basketball, baseball, swimming and going with his scout group. He is very social and has several good friends. I am very proud of him he is such a fine young man and I appreciate all the help he is to me! Mckay is 9 now-that's crazy! He is still very smart and enjoys school. Just the other day I took them to the dentist and he was mad because he was missing Recess!! Mckay is very stubborn and loves to tease just about anyone. (especially Madelynn-he can sure get her screaming) Mckay can also be very shy he hates to be the center of attention. He loves any sport and is a very good athlete. I am not sure he will be getting much for Christmas this year because he does not believe there is a Santa anymore and has spent the last month trying to convince his brothers of that. Little Stinker!!! Marcus is 7 and will be getting baptised in May of 2011. He is still my laziest, unmotivated, but very sweet little boy! He is still small and hates the cold weather! He loves animals and wants to be a Zoo-Keeper when he grows up. He loves his little sister and loves to make her happy! For Christmas I asked the kids to make a list of 5 things they wanted Marcus list was #1-Dog #2-Hamster #3-Cat #4-Fish #5-Bird. I said "No animals!" He was bummed and said "I was hoping if I put it on my list I could get at least one!!" I sure love my Marcus! Madelynn is as Bossy as ever!! She is the youngest and seems to get what she wants! She hates to be told NO and will throw a fit over it-hopefully she will learn!! She loves her brothers and her friends. She plays with 2 little neighbor boys-unfortunately she gets along with boys better-we are so in for it with her!! She will be 4 in April and wants to go to the Princess Castle for her Birthday (Disneyland). She is in Dance and really enjoys that. What a fun girl she is to have around! That about sums it all up! Hope you all have a great Christmas! Remember the Reason for the Season! I know we are all so thankful for the Savior and all he has done for us. Merry Christmas!
