Christmas Letter 2013

Merry Christmas! Hello Family! Here’s a little bit of what’s up with us! Miah is the baby of the family, the only girl, and the sweetest child in the world. She is a perfect mix of Tom Boy/Princess. On her Christmas list this year was Bow and Arrow, Gun, Blue Under Armor Sweatshirt and Americal Girl Doll. She turns nine years old on December 26th. She loves to play with friends, loves dogs, loves crafty things, crocheting, sewing, making bracelets. She is in 3rd grade, wants to play volleyball, softball, and golf someday. This year she took horseback riding lessons and she was a cheerleader for Jalen’s football team. She is truly beautiful inside and out and she keeps us laughing everyday. Jalen is our middle child, laid back, and always smiling. He turned 11 years old this year, and saved up money all year to buy is very own I-Pod. He is a big Skylanders fan, loves playing with friends, and watching movies with his dad. Jalen played football and soccer this year. He’s a great goalie! Jalen is in 5th grade, loves art and is making huge snowflakes to sell at the mini-mall at school this year. He is as handsome as can be, and his joy and love for life always bring a smile to my face. Cameron is our oldest, independent, creative and the most sentimental guy in the world. Cameron entered Middle School this year, 6th grade. He played soccer this spring and is playing basketball currently. Cameron loves to read, play video games, and make rainbow loom bracelets. Cameron is in honors classes at school and excelling. He loves to play with friends, nerf, lego’s, lazer-tag. Cameron dreams of having a four-wheeler, a dog and a tree house. He is one of the hardest workers I’ve ever known and his smile can light up the whole room. Justin and I are about to celebrate our 18-year anniversary. We are having so much fun and feeling blessed beyond measure. This year we did a Triathlon together. We had a lot of fun on the long bike rides training together and Justin even taught me how to swim. We will definitely do it again! Justin completed his 7 mile swim to Charity Island in August. (Crazy Boy!) I am still teaching fitness classes and enjoying that. We love our church!!!! We’ve been at Harvest Bible Chapel for about 2 years now, and this year we were small group leaders. We are heading to California for a BIG family vacation over the Christmas holiday. 2013 has been a really great year and we are totally looking forward to 2014! Merry Christmas to you and yours! You are loved by the Maust Family!!!!! Justin, Jenny, Cameron, Jalen and Miah
