Christmas Wishes

We hope that everyone's holidays were as magical and memorable as ours.

As per popular demand, this is the Haupt Christmas picture for 2013 :)

I apologize for not being able to send out physical cards; it is a goal for our future Christmases. I am actually really looking forward to writing out our year in summary for all our relatives; I love reading about all our families. There is something about receiving a card in the mail, letting you know that someone wants you to know about their families and loves you enough to write out your address on an envelope. Unfortunately this year, I had was slightly swamped with school etc, so here is the Christmas /New Years /Happy Holidays card.

 

 Evelyn had her first solo Art Show this year in Grand Forks. You can see pictures of the show here, and look at some of the art pieces here. She also finished her last full -time semester at BYU and still has an acceptable GPA. She will graduate with a Bachelor's Degree in Art in the spring and is looking forward to being a full time mother (finally).

Jacob was accepted in the Studio Art program and is working as an Art Assistant for one of his favorite faculty members. He will be at both Salt Lake Comic Cons this year with his own booth so if you're in the area, stop by and take a look at the stuff he has been working on throughout year. 

Talia continues to amaze her parents with her feisty personality and irresistible cuteness. She turned 16 months at the end of December. Her personal achievements are too numerous to list, but a few are: learning to swim over the summer, crawling to walking to running really fast, folding her arms for prayer, expanding her vocabulary to six words (in both languages), self feeding, growing two teeth, and playing nice with other children. She is an incredible light to our family and we love having dance parties with her. 

We are so thankful for the love and support we receive continually from friends, neighbors, and especially family. As a growing little family, we have a testimony of God's love and His hand in all things. We hope that the love He has and that we have for all of you will be felt throughout the year.
