Christmas 2010 in February 2011

Whitney, Kevin, Mitch Keith and Alex at the Northpole.



I have been meaning to post our 2010 Christmas Letter but my computer was down. So know taht it is working here it is.

We can’t believe how quickly this 2010 has passed. This decade we have watched our family grow considerably. We started it with a very small family and we are ending it with almost grown young men.
Mitch is in his senior year and has been busy applying for colleges and scholarships. He made it to state in cross country and has finally finished his eagle. The official ceremony will be sometime next month.
Kevin is well over 6 feet tall, received his driver’s permit and made honor roll at school. He also did drum line for marching band and ran cross country at the same time.
Whitney entered middle school this year. She is also a beehive and a star soccer player. She has a very active social life.
Keith is in 4th grade. He is a Bear scout, loves all sports. He played soccer and basketball this year. He is very funny and keeps us thinking with his many philosophical questions.
Alexandria is in 1st grade and is our outgoing fashonista. She dances and plays soccer. She loves shopping and wearing lots of accessories. She is very, very cute, which has saved her life on several occasions.
Lisa is constantly crying over stupid commercials as she contemplates her first child leaving home this next year. She has been busy working, raising five kids, being the Bear Den leader, being a girl’s camp leader and trying to keep up with Phillip.
Phillip has been able to keep busy with his law firm in spite of the economy. The economy has been a little stressful but overall we have been very fortunate. He is also busy working in the bishopric for our church. Phillip rode the triple bypass this summer with Mitch and Kevin and his brother Craig and nephew Brad. He also rode Lotoja while Lisa drove as his pit crew along the way.
We had a lot of fun as a family. We went skiing for a week at Copper Mountain and a trip to Washington D.C. We had a lot of fun seeing the sights and visiting with family.
We hope this beautiful Christmas season finds each of you well. We are very grateful for our Savior, His Atonement, for our membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and for the many blessings we receive on a daily basis.
