Christmas Card 2010

We finally got the Christmas cards done! I am doing them over the email now. It may be cheesy, but it is what I do! Bryan was so great and helped me post and even wrote the Christmas letter!

Our Christmas Card photo!  

Some old time photos we took !  I like the look of popcorn on the tree.. it adds to the vintage feel.

Merry Christmas!

The photo that didn't make the Christmas Card cut!

Friends and family,

Another year has gone by and so much has changed for our family.

Mom and Dad have truly become empty nesters. With so much time on their hands, they have found joy in sprucing up the house in areas that have started to show wear and tear after 12 years. Recent additions to the home include a new awning for the back patio and new granite counter tops. Dad uses the basement to load bullets and Mom quit work in May and has become an avid blogger and grandma extraordinaire. They also keep busy as Institute teachers on Thursday nights and Temple workers on Friday mornings.  They like to travel now and plan on a cruise in 2011!

Ben and Tana continue to be a military Family. We are proud of Ben as he is courageously serving our country as a soldier in Afghanistan. We are able to keep in touch with him through e-mail and video chat. We love you Ben and thank you for your service. Tana lives in Springdale and is kept busy by Austen and Dirk, her two sons that have a knack for destruction. Austen loves Grandma and Grandma’s house and Dirk hates to go to bed. They are anxiously awaiting a new addition to their family sometime in April!

Laura and Ben are well established in Eagle Mountain. Ben is a State Trooper for the Highway Patrol. Laura has become a homemaking goddess, everyone is jealous of her crafting abilities and her matured level of motherhood. Kaelynn is in now in 1^st grade in Mrs. Lamb’s class. She likes reading and playing with Barbies. Tyler is 5, and is in pre-school. He likes to play video games wear his glasses. Caleb (aka Cooter) is invincibly happy; he loves to play with his siblings, cousins, and uncles.

Jeff and Sarah are rejoicing as Jeff has graduated with his masters in Accounting and is looking for a job. Sarah has a small blog called proofread that she uses to sell headers and other graphics over the internet. This year they become the proud parents of baby Eli.

That leaves me, Bryan. I am in the frozen north lands of Logan Utah, going to school at Utah State. I am a junior and am well on my way to getting my degree in computer engineering. The family uses me as a resource for all things tech related. I am still looking for my one and only.

We are all thankful and our blessings are many. We wish everyone a wonderful Christmas season and a happy new year. May the Lord continue to bless you and your family.

Merry Christmas!
