Once again this year, we sent out a blank Mad Lib for the mischievous among you to create your own version of our holiday letter. But if you’d like the official version, here you go — with a bonus slideshow of favorite moments from the year.

Favorite subject: princesses. *Rosie*, age 3, lets out her inner dancer whenever music starts to play. And *Jon* and *Ann* got all gussied up in tuxedo and floor-length gown for a prom! We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy New Year!
Merry Christmas to the Boyds! :)
What a year. God bless.
Jon and Ann,
Great to get your card. Merry Christmas! Somehow I’ve misplaced your address. Email it to me, okay? Your girls surprise me. They’ve grown so much since the last time I caught a glimpse of them. You know by now I’m sure that Marilee died in February and the “Allen family” at this address to whom you sent the card is just me. I have spent more time with Pam and Tim in Maine and Arizona this past year, however.
Blessings on you all.
Paul
