Merry Christmas From The Yanceys 2010!

Hi everyone this is Jefanie. J Mom isn’t feeling well so I am writing the family Christmas letter this year. L I am pretty excited to do it because I am such a talented writer. ;) For those of you who are special enough to get this letter on fancy paper, it came from that cute Middle Eastern store downtown. They have this cute little kid that is so cute there. I love how cute Arabs are when they are small. It is funny how the best Christmas paper is made by Muslims. ;)

Dad was in charge of decorating the house this year so we don’t even have a tree. L He basically just found a string of bundled Christmas lights, plugged them in and put them in the window. :( He didn’t even take them out of the bundle. He is such a nerd. At least he has a job so I can keep getting my allowance. He is currently writing fortunes for fortune cookies. He keeps sticking in stupid ones like “I hope you enjoyed the garlic chicken, don’t forget a mint” and “If you ate the Lo Mein you will soon die.”

We had some big changes in our family this year. Mom kind of went crazy back in March. She had some Botox and got a small blemish above her eyebrow. She now goes tanning every day to get the rest of her body to match the color of the blemish. Currently, she is the color and texture of our mahogany leather sofa. When she isn’t tanning, she mostly sits around the house in her sweat pants eating cous cous and collecting stray cats. She now has 12 and all are named Ringo.

I have been as busy as usual. I just turned 15 and am loving my senior year of high school. I was awarded the Sterling Scholar in 5 different subjects at my school. I still dance on the side with 4 different companies. I just perfected Italian (buongiorno) and the french horn. I lettered in soccer and volleyball this fall and am looking forward to softball and basketball this year. I have been running my mom’s non-profit organization No Pay Shui while she is sick. I love decorating poor people’s houses! Since I am off to college next year I keep getting calls from Yale, Harvard, Columbia and Stanford. I might just go to BYU so I can find a husband, but not for at least two more years. lol

Cymfanie is playing quidditch this year with a local team of nerds. I went to one of the matches and it is really exciting. I think most of those boys are glad she is on the team just cuz they have the chance to talk to a girl. She is the snitch runner so she dresses in gold spandex and tries to keep a tennis ball shoved into a tube sock away from the seekers. Cymf and mom are really getting close lately. Cymf makes her oatmeal every morning and puts in a special sweetener. I don’t know what it is, but it seems to make mom sleepy.

My little bro is 9 and a real dork. J

Mom’s cats ate our dog Annie. L It was pretty tragic. Dad had spilled some tuna on Annie and the cats went nuts. The only thing left over was Annie’s collar. Dad had to wrestle it from Ringo #7.

Well that is it for us! Merry Christmas! We love all of you, even the ones who are reading this on the blog!

Hugs!

Jeff, Stephanie, Jefanie, Cymfanie and Ringo, Ringo, Ringo, Ringo, Ringo, Ringo, Ringo, Ringo, Ringo, Ringo, Ringo and Ringo.
