Merry Christmas Card

We're so happy to have so many wonderful friends and family; we hope this Christmas card finds you and your family well.

We had a wonderful addition to our family this year on April 9, Ezra James Torrie. He has really brought so much happiness into our home and and we have had lots of fun watching all his firsts. He has 6 chompers, which are really sharp, loves to laugh with his sister, and he just lights up when he sees us. He is a happy, handsome, curious but shy little guy. We love his dimples, his blue eyes and his spikey hair. He just fits in so well to our family.

Our Kali is 9 and in grade 4 at Crestwood School and she has the best teacher: Mrs. Pavelich! Kali has been pretty busy this year with Hip Hop dance, Activity days at church, and piano lessons. She loves her brother and loves to make him laugh, those two have so much fun together. She spent lots of the summer with her Aunt, Uncle and cousins in Taber where she was able to live the farm life and spent sometime at the lake, she worked hard and played hard. Kali continues to be such a great example to us, she knows how to treat people and is such a peace maker.

Spencer enjoys his job in mechanical building systems engineering and and is saving the world one building at a time. He has liked biking and riding his scooter to work, he basically just loves doing anything outside but especially loves honing his bushcraft/survival skills and hoarding camping gear (much to his wife's dismay). He received a couple awesome Scouting awards this year and is a little sad that he's not an active Scout leader anymore. He's working as the Elders Quorum secretary at church which keeps him busy enough. Spencer is really enjoying being with the kids too. It has been such a great experience to have a big kid and a little kid and learning as a parent as they develop and grow.

Jenn loves having a baby in the house, she's enjoying every phase of him; she especially loves being his favorite person. She is working as a counselor in the Young Women's program at church and loves getting to know and having fun with the girls and other leaders.

We hope you enjoy your Christmas season and that your love of Christ will radiate all year.

With Love,
Spencer, Jenn, Kali & Ezra Torrie
