Merry Christmas From The Hunt Family

Dear Family and Friends,

Well, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all. Some might say it is too late to write a Christmas letter but I say it is never too late. If you don’t get it by Christmas then it can be considered a New Year letter. We hope you are all doing well and that 2010 was a great year for you. We are all well and had a great year ourselves.

It is amazing to me how fast time flies. I was looking through the past four Christmas letters we wrote and couldn’t believe the changes in our children and family. Some of those memories seem like they happened just yesterday while some feel a life time ago.

This year has brought some new and exciting memories for the Hunt family. One of the biggest and most exciting was watching our first home be built and then purchasing it in April. We have truly enjoyed having a home of our own. Now over the next year we get the fun of working on the landscaping. We look forward to creating many happy memories here.

Now on to the girls, Courtney is two and is busy as ever. She has quite the imagination. The problem is that it often manifests it’s self at bedtime when she is supposed to be trying to go to sleep. She will take on conversations with me about all kinds of fun, scary and exciting things all when I am trying to get her to calm down and go to sleep. She loves to play and has really started learning how to play with others. She is often heard saying “come play with me.” She is excited about life and you can’t help but smile when you see her excitement.

Shaylee successfully passed Kindergarten and is now six and in first grade. She got glasses in the Spring, but really only has to wear them when reading and doing school work. She is making lots of new friends and learning to read better all of the time. I am excited for her to be able to read because she really enjoys books. She has a very kind and tender heart and we love having in our family.

Now for Kelsi, she had a big year. In March she turned eight and was baptized. This was a very exciting time for her and our family. We are very proud of her choice. She also finished second grade with success and is now in the third grade. She was nervous about starting at a new school but has been doing great! She is growing up fast and learning to be quite the helper. She often jumps in and helps me with things even when I don’t ask. She is a great help.

Jeremy and I love our new home and are busy as ever with his job and home responsibilities. We are looking forward to a new year and all of the fun it brings with three beautiful, lively and fun filled daughters.

We hope that you all have a wonderful year and enjoy the simple joys of life we have all been blessed with.

Love,
Jeremy, Cindy, Kelsi, Shaylee, and Courtney Hunt
