Christmas Newsletter

due to snow and everything that doesn't get done when you are holed up at home I was unable to get our christmas cards out this year. So sad! So i am posting it here in hopes you will forgive me and know that we are thinking of everyone despite the fact you won't be getting a personalized, stamped card this year. So sorry! We truly wish all Happy Holidays!




Dearest Friends and Family,
The time has come again to celebrate the many gifts we have recieved throughout the year. Our greatest gift is YOU! No matter how our paths cross throughout the year you have made a difference just in knowing you are part of our life. Thank you for your thought, good wishes, prayers, kindess and love...it does not go unnoticed. Our family has continued to plug away at life. David celebrated 7 years at Metagenics and continues to teach scouts tothe 10-11 year olds. He celebrates the completion of his “man cave” with his built in Dolby Surround Sound- 110 inch screen
theatre. Lili began the year at University of
Washington and had to put it on hold-plans of
returning Winter 2010. She also got to visit her dear friend in Kansas for a week- touring all of the LDS church sites. She began running again andjust finished her first 5K with thoughts of doing a 1/2 marathon in the future. Alex started 2nd grade and is progressing in his reading and writing. He has a
passion for pokemon cards. He was on his first baseball team this year and is right now on a
wrestling team. He loves to play on the computer and the Wii. He especially loves to have friends over to play. Natalee started Kindergarten this year and just read her first book to me the other day. She loves to read and write and is finding a whole world opening up before her as she progresses. Both she and Alex began piano lessons-thanks to Uncle Rick- and she keeps herself busy with friends, art, writing and being outdoors. Nicholas started
Preschool this year and loves to ride the bus-just like Alex and Natalee. His speech is improving
tremendously and he is talking more and more. He went to his first Monster jam this year and has not stopped talking about it. He loves his car tracks and monster trucks. He wants to do whatever his brother and sister do and is no longer a “little boy” but a “big boy”. He loves to play with his buddy Tobin and is always sporting a smile every morning he wakes us up. He finished potty training this year and we are no longer buying diapers. Life is grand! Our annual camping trip was the best ever this year and I can only see it getting better. We are so blessed this season and would be remiss if we didn’t remember our Savior- Jesus Christ” in our blessings. He is the reason for the Season Thank you for your love and know that you are loved in return.

Happy Holidays!
