Justin’s pride and joy is being father and husband to his family! He loves spending his free time playing games with the kids, reading good books or working on household projects! He’s currently serving in the Young Men’s presidency. A highlight every morning is walking Caitlin to the bus stop. He’s unofficially been named ‘Most Handsome Dad’ in the neighborhood by Caitlin’s girlfriends!
Amanda cannot believe how fast their first year in VA has gone! It has definitely been a new experience, but she loves all that Richmond has to offer—just as long as she has her GPS! A HUGE highlight this year for Amanda has been training for (and completing) her FIRST Half Marathon!! She also auditioned for and sings with The Richmond Mormon Chorale.
Caitlin (5 ½ years) started Kindergarten this year!! She LOVES school, reading books with mom and dad, telling jokes, CATS and horses. The other day we were in the car and Will said the sun was in his eyes. Mom tried to comfort him by saying, “It’s okay, Will; you need exposure to sunlight in the winter—it helps keep your spirits up!” Caitlin so mater-of-factly said, “OR, you can just have a cup of Hot Cocoa!” She’s truly a bright light in our lives!
Will (4 ½ years) is a Buzz Lightyear by day, Mario by night… and Sheriff Woody at the Grocery Store! This cutie LOVES to dress up, and he brings a huge smile to those who see him in character! He enjoys preschool twice a week, loves having play dates with friends. He tells his mother every day that she is his best friend!
Brinley (19 months) sounds a little bit like the Swedish Chef from the Muppets… her own cute little language mixed with a few ‘English’ words… that little porcelain face and striking blue eyes just melt our hearts! She’s completely obsessed with balls, coloring, SHOES and Blue’s Clues! This little one is sweet and silly… and often tries to run off wearing strangers’ shoes at indoor playgrounds!
We feel truly blessed to have you all in our lives and we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Love, The Cracrofts

I wanted to get pictures of the kids all wrapped up in the quilt... and Caitlin had this great idea that she wanted to be wrapped up like a baby!! SO CUTE!
