Every year I write a letter detailing what we did for the year, mostly so someday my children will remember, so this year I'm doing it again. I was going to print it out and put it in all my cards, but I ran out of ink and decided this way is more friendly for the environment. So, here's a quick recap of our year. Since this is public domain I will refer to my children by their awesome nicknames. My oldest daughter we call Pumpkin, my second daughter is Angel, my oldest son is Sunshine, and my youngest son is Yoda. There are reasons for all their nicknames, but that's not the point here.
We started the year with hockey for Pumpkin and Sunshine, then we went skiing. It was fun to get to ski with my three oldest, they are getting really good. Then we had a dance show where my Angel was stunning in jazz and ballet, then she got to dance with sister in a tap number. The end of March we loaded up the RV and drove to the East Coast. We had a blast at the ocean and visiting with family. We saw many historic sights and the children loved picking up some junior ranger badges.
We came home to a busy summer full of gardening and swimming lessons. We managed to do summer hockey of course and some school. We finished the summer with a trip to Washington state to visit family. We got to fish in Yellowstone Park and the children added to their junior ranger badges on the way home.
September was calm but we had to start some serious school. Pumpkin started third grade, reading is her favorite subject. Angel started second grade and really enjoys writing short stories. She got to start real art classes, she has some real talent. Sunshine decided he was ready for kindergarten, mostly because he wants to learn to read, although math is still really fun. Yoda is learning his colors, he likes yellow.
October brought family visits, balloons, and hockey of course. November we played and watched lots of hockey, more family visits, and Angel played an angel in A Christmas Carol. December started with hockey and ice skating in the backyard.
We hope you had a very Merry Christmas and we wish you a Happy New Year.
God Bless.
