Merry Christmas



Worthington Top 9 in 2009

Tim: Spending time at home with my wonderful family, especially when we are all in the pool. Taking the family to Disneyland/California Adventure and the beach. Baptizing Tyler. Father/Sons campout. Daddy/Daughter date with Kennedy. Motorcycle riding with my boys. Being with my beautiful, loving wife. Flying at 100ft at 550 miles per hour dropping $500,000 bombs in one pass (Thank you tax payers). Running my first marathon.

Allison: Having my fun and awesome hubby home A LOT more than he has been in past years. Living in Las Vegas and having sunshine almost every day of the year. Being a soccer mom (even when that means spending lots of time in the car). Watching my kids excel at school and in sports. Great stores to shop at. Working with the Young Women at our church. Having fun friends to talk and play with. Being able to visit my family in Utah. Catching up with dear friends and family, whether they stop in for a visit or send an email.

Kennedy: Swimming in our pool all summer long. Getting my second guinea pig, Cookie. Opening presents at my Hannah Montana birthday party (I turned 10). Taking a family trip to Disneyland/ California Adventure where I rode California Screamin’ 9 times. Playing soccer and taking 2nd place in the end of season tournament. Playing in the snow up in the mountains or when we go to Utah. Being with my friends and going to Activity Days. Visiting family in Utah. Reading, especially the Harry Potter series (I am now on Book 5).

Tyler: Riding my motorcycle, especially when we go with friends. Playing on an awesome soccer team and taking 2nd place at the end of the season. Swimming everyday ALL day long. Having good friends. My 8th birthday and getting baptized into our church. Starting scouts. Our California trip to go to Disneyland and to see David Beckham play. Snow sledding. Playing football in the street with my friends.

Logan: Riding my motorcycle with Dad and Tyler. Going to preschool with my 3 best friends. Playing soccer. Eating Mom’s homemade chicken pot pie. Snow sledding. Going to California with my family to play at the beach and see David Beckham play soccer. Visiting my family in Utah and playing with my aunt Annie’s dog, Norman. Trying to keep up with Kennedy and Tyler in the pool. Christmastime.

Colton: When Daddy or the kids come in the door after being gone all day. Being Mommy’s little buddy. Making everyone laugh with my never-ending smiles and contagious giggle. Playing with (or trying to keep up with) Tyler and Logan. Having Kennedy read to me. Riding my Lightening McQueen car all around the house. Pushing my monster truck around while making very loud truck noises. Tearing apart anything that Mom has just put away or organized. Pretending I am a doggie.

We have had such a wonderful year and are grateful for Christmastime when we can appreciate all the things we have been blessed with and express our love for our Savior. We hope this letter finds you well and hope to hear from you in 2010! Our door is always open if you are passing through Vegas!

We love and miss you all! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
