Our First Christmas Card!



The Mattoons in 2008

It’s been a year since our little family begun
And we’ve got to admit we’ve had a lot of fun.
At the beginning of the year we were living like kings
From all the wonderful gifts we received, we had all sorts of things.
Travis thought being a paralegal full time was pretty cool.
Courtney was getting really good grades in school.
After school was out we thought we’d try something new
We traveled across the country to sell home security and sold a few
We lived in Indianapolis and then Virginia Beach
And got a Maltese named Nieko that we didn’t get to keep.
When the fun was over it was back to Rexburg to relax a while
We enjoyed the Sun and the outdoors and couldn’t help but smile
We took a trip back to good old Washington to see the fam
We had a lot of fun, and reminded me how grateful I am.
Now we are both going to BYUI this fall
Our classes are tough but we learn from them all
We love you whether you are near or far
We hope all is well where ever you are
This a great time of year for a lot of good reasons
So count your blessings and have a wonderful holiday season.
