Christmas Letter 2010

Dear Family and Friends,

We hope that this year has been a blessed one for you and yours. It has been for us, and we would like to share some updates of our happenings with you!

Kody kept busy with the roofing business. Even amongst slow times for construction, the business was steady. However after much reflection and thought we decided to sell the roofing business. Kody desires to pursue other interests and is currently spending his time investing in the stock market as a day trader, developing a couple of websites, and writing a book on 3-Dimential data base, amongst other projects and hobbies. He stays very busy with everything and is looking forward to much relieved stress and liability from roofing.

I have continued to be a stay at home mom with our four kiddos. It’s by far my favorite job......most days! We still live on site and manage a storage unit facility. This has been a great blessing for our family and we enjoy it. I am doing homeschool with the kids, and it flows pretty smoothly. It is great to watch them learn and it’s nice to always be together.

Kamille turns 6 this month. She is very smart and enjoys learning. She attends a program for homeschooled children once a week where she takes classes such as swimming, science, cooking, dance, reading, art, gardening, etc. She is the best big sister and is a great help to all of us. She loves to play with her younger siblings and also enjoyed participating in soccer and T-Ball this year. She is very much into art, and has a good eye and steady hand for drawing.

Kayda is 4 years old and is our favorite little knuckle head! She loves to be silly and make people laugh. She enjoyed soccer with Kamille and is quite the little athlete! She also loves to be girly and nearly everything must be pink. She too enjoys homeschool and is quite the sponge that soaks everything up.

Jameson is 2 years old and is the sweetest little boy. He loves his trucks, cars, and trains. He keeps up with the girls and can really hold his own. Everything with him must be blue, and he lets you know it. He loves to do school with the girls sitting right next to them at their desks, and he pays great attention to the baby always letting me know when the baby needs something. He is a wonderful brother and he keeps us all smiling.

Jefferson is 7 months old. He was born in May, and like the others, was delivered at home. He has been our biggest baby, full of lots of rolls and chubbs on his arms, legs, and cheeks. We love it though, more for kissing! He sits up, rolls all over the floor and has seven little teeth. He really is the happiest most content baby, and smiles and laughs all the time.

We are very grateful for the blessings the Lord has given us throughout this year, for they have been many. We love this time of year and that we can honor and celebrate the birth of our Savior. We wish you all lots of happiness, joy, and safety in the coming year. May God bless you all!

With Lots of Love,
The Collier Clan
