Merry Christmas!

I have decided to write our Christmas letter on our blog this year, since most of the "happenings" that I will be writing about can be backed up by pictures and more details on our blog!

2009 has been a good year for our little family!
Kylie will be turning 5 in January! She started Preschool in the fall and is loving it! She took swimming lessons in the spring and fall and enjoyed every minute of it! Kylie has been attending AWANA for the past 2 years, and this year she moved from being a "Cubbie" to being a "Spark." When Kylie earned her Sparks membership card, she came home and announced to her dad that she now has a credit card! Kylie loves playing with her brothers, reading books, playing house, dress-up, and she is quite the little artist!

Brayden turned 2 in July and is a very active little man! He loves to follow his sister around, watch football with his dad and yell at the top of his lungs" Let's Go Hawks!!!" no matter who is playing. He loves to play with his trucks, cars, and "shoot baketball". One of the favorite things to do is going to "gwandpa's" farm and ride the four wheeler to do chores, the tractor or the combine! He misses Kylie when she is in school and asks every other minute "where did Kylie go?". I love watching them grow up together and create a bond!

Colton will be turning 1 on December 17th. I can't believe it's happening. This year has gone by in a blink of an eye and so much has changed about my sweet baby boy. He is no longer a light little bundle...he is now a somewhat "heavy", squirmy little man. He has the cutest facial expressions, a charming smile, he mumbles words like "dadda" and "mamma" and "hiii" and he now officially has 5 teeth!!! He is not walking by himself as of yet, but it looks like it will be happening in the very near future!

Brett and I have been busy raising these little bundles of joy and they keep us busy let me tell you!! It's a good kind of busy, we are so grateful they are healthy and happy. Brett continues to work for University of Dubuque and is enjoying the time he spends flying. He will be going to Florida for work in February and we decided it will be nice for me to tag along. He will be busy during the day, but I will be able to have lunch with him and we'll have the evenings all to ourselves. I am looking forward to spending some quality time just the two of us while the kids will be getting spoiled at Grandma and Grandpa's. I have been loving being able to be a full time stay-at-home mom. I treasure and enjoy every minute I spend with our children, I know it will not last forever.

You can keep up with the events in our family on our blog year-round, so please don't be a stranger!

I will end all the bragging now, but not before I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year filled with many blessings.

Brett, Iuliana, Kylie, Brayden and Colton
