Christmas Letter 2010



Dear Friends and Family,

Merry Christmas y'all! We have had a good year and hope you did too.

Lydia Kate Leonard was added onto our family on May 6, 2010. She is now 7 months old and crawling.

Erica will be 3 on December 27th and is very excited to be three and joining Primary as a Sunbeam. She loves playing with her dolls and with Paul and Lydia.

Paul is a very active 4 year old. He enjoys being loud, playing with his younger sisters, and older brother, Josh.

Joshua (Josh) turned 7 in September. He is enjoying 1st grade. He likes playing Legos and cars, and riding his bike. He also enjoys playing with his brother and sisters.

Megan turned 9 in November. She enjoys attending Activity Days (with Brittany) and 3rd grade. She still adores horses and enjoys playing soccer with the family.

Brittany is 11 – in 6th grade – and enjoying every minute of it. She enjoys singing in the school and church choirs.

Shawnie stays at home raising the children. She enjoys quilting and sewing, as a matter of fact, she has quilted 2 quilts and accomplished several sewing projects this year. She is a good cook and very helpful with the children (especially the girls). She serves as the 1st Counselor in the Primary presidency.

Kyle has been through a lot since March. He lost his job and thankfully found a new job with AmeriCredit/GM Financial in October. He is the Ward Mission Leader.

Other than a new baby, unemployment, a broken dishwasher, a new job, a new pair of glasses, a brand new school year, and two bike crashes (Brittany & Grandma; Josh & neighbor boy), we have had a pretty normal year (if you call that normal)!

With Love,
The Leonards

(Special thanks to Brittany for crafting our letter this year!)

How does that go again?

One of Paul's new vocabulary words is "regot." He says it instead of "forgot." I think it is one of the cutest kid language mix-ups I have ever heard.
