Christmas Card and Family Letter


Merry Christmas from the Justices!  Here’s the low down from Brad on 2015:

Olive is our spicy child with sparkle and spunk all rolled up into one.  She’s 21 months and has turned into a real chatter box.  She loves putting on any shoes she can find along with her over stuffed purses and bags.  When she feels she needs extra attention she says “Look it, Mom” and smiles so big her eyes disappear.  

Bentley is crazy into Star Wars—still.  He was a storm trooper for Halloween and wore his costume for weeks.  His favorite books right now are Where the Wild Things Are and Spiderman short stories.  He’s also an early bird—waking up before the rest of the family almost every morning.  He’s a great brother to his sisters.

Eden is a big, bad 1st grader.  Reading is this girl’s thing.  She reads chapter books and loves to spell her answers to questions.  She’s very good in school and loves her teacher.  Her recent movie love is Disney’s Descendants.  Eden is a major crafter and her creative mind spins out some pretty cool projects.  She takes her older sister responsibilities very seriously and loves on her younger siblings every day.

Lisa has figured out how to truly rock the mom thing.  She’s pregnant with a baby girl—due January 29, 2016.  Unfortunately, we ran out of girl names so the only thing we’ve agreed on is the nickname provided by the kids—Coco.  She has been a very busy and involved mom.  She loves her calling teaching Relief Society at church.  She’s awesome.   

Brad continues to do financial planning and loves it.  He has been wrapped up in the Star Wars mania with the new movie coming out.  He likes planning trips for the family and collecting board games.  Brad is obsessed with our family of box turtles in the backyard—bringing the total to 10.  He’s really, really hoping for turtle babies this coming summer. 

Brad and Lisa celebrated 10 years of marriage this year.  It went by in a blissful flash. 

We wish you and yours the best in 2016!

With love,


Brad, Lisa, Eden, Bentley, and Olive (Ruby and the 10 box turtles)
