Best wishes for a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from our family!!
We've enjoyed a great 2009 and are looking forward to an even better 2010.
Alyssa will be turning five next year. :( Kindergarten is right around the corner...if Mommy lets her go! She's enjoying her dance classes and is a great student in a pre-k program at our church. She's also started singing in the childrens choir and makes us listen to her "performances" every day.
Cayden is growing like a little weed. He LOVES playing with friends, trucks and balls. He's learning new words and stringing them together in long sentences that amaze us daily. He can always be found with tools and gets mad when Daddy is fixing something and he can't help. :)
April is staying home and raising our kids, taking care of our house and tolerating me! She can often be found in her tahoe/grocery getter/kid limo doing one of a million errands she seems to do daily. She convinced me to buy a treadmill for Christmas, so we now have a brand new place for her to hang the laundry!!
I'm still busy at work, but spend a lot of my time working on projects for school. In case you don't know, I am attending Pacific Coast Banking School in Washington. It requires two weeks on campus every summer, then 4-5 papers to be turned in between sessions. Next year I get to write a 60-80pg management report. Can you say EXCITING?!?! ;)
Yesterday in church, the pastor asked us to think about a blessing we've had and concentrate on that during our prayer of thanksgiving. I'm fortunate that my blessings have run over and that I have so much to be thankful for. I'm also reminded of those who are less fortunate and/or are dealing with trials at this time. Our prayers remain with those people as we enter the Christmas Season. With all the presents, parties, songs and games, it is easy to forget...but we should seek to focus on the true reason for the season, Our Savior Jesus Christ.
May God bless you during this Holiday Season.
With Love,
The Harless Family
Chris, April, Alyssa & Cayden
