A preview to my fans. Some of you will recieve this by mail with a family picture. If you don’t get one and want one let me know so I can add you to my mailing list. We like to keep the fans happy.
Greetings
my peepsThis years been a long one
This letter is Brian’s job
But it ain’t getting done.
So I guess I’ll just do it
Let him keep working still.
With all the expenses
He’s out paying the bills.
Not to be outdone
By siblings and Pop-C
This year we’re rhyming
Get your thinking caps ready.
So what’s the new news
In the Anderson household.
Eleven months now
Weston’s nearly a year old.
Last January 11th
He arrived 3 weeks early.
But we were not worried
Amnio said lungs were ready.
Started off at 9 pounds
25# now and walkin’.
One year makes a toddler
Can’t imagine life without him.
Rosie turned 3
Last mid November.
She is a delight.
With a smart sense of humor.
Shades of the two year old
Sometimes show through.
That kid can scream louder
Than a Banshee or two.
Fully potty trained now
Even at night.
Mom thanks the heavens
For that blessing alright.
Serra finished Kinder
Moved on to grade one.
Is doing so well
With reading and sums.
She loves her friends
Thinks her cousins are IT
Wishes we lived closer
Not enough time on visits.
Incredibly helpful to Mom
And the kiddies.
Loves cuddles, ice cream,
Root beer, and movies.
And what about Brian?
What’s he been up to?
He built a huge house for us.
Every room has a loo.
Still working construction
Keeps our heads above water.
In this crazy economy
That’s no laughing matter.
Built cool things this year
Besides casitas, additions
Our home took the most time
And a bridge was a challange.
With the new house comes change
So we’re in a new ward.
New callings have come
So now we’re not bored.
From Exec. Secretary to
Elder Quorum presidency
Brian has meetings.
And Pam gets Primary.
(Sweet)
And what does Pam do
Besides clean the house.
With a place of this size
There is not much else.
All kidding aside
She keeps herself busy.
Drives kids around
Takes pictures of kiddies.
Always new hobbies
Sewing, baking, and tatting.
Sells stuff on E-bay
To pay for the batting.
We love our free time
And try to make more.
Saw the Cubs in Chicago
And Disneyland OF COURSE!
To California for events
Utah for work and play.
The kids come along.
Don’t complain much all day.
We sure love our family
And friend mean so much.
We wish you all the best
In this new year-but hush.
Let’s not forget why
We are celebrating the season.
Our savior was born
And gave our lives reason.
Love the Andersons,

Very cute, the rhyming makes it fun…maybe one of these years I’ll get around to making a family Christmas letter…
Email, now that’s smart & money saving. The poem was excellent, of course.
Well done, WELL DONE! Can’t wait for the pics! mom
