Merry Christmas 2010!

Dear Friends and Family,

What a great year it has been! We hope this letter finds you Happy, Well, and Warm! We would like to take this opportunity to tell you about some of our happenings. We are content right now in our cozy 4 bedroom home in Pasco, WA. We had a fun summer, traveling to see both Nathan's family and Kristin's family in Idaho. We were blessed to have visits from our parents this fall. The kids love visitors! You are always welcome! Come one! Come all!

Nathan is teaching seminary at two highschools and coordinates the volunteer teachers in our stake. This month it will be 3 years that he has served as Bishop of our ward. He does an amazing job with juggling his responsibilities and still giving his family quality time together. We love our time with Daddy!! We appreciate time more than ever and have learned how precious it is.

We welcomed a new baby boy, William Dean, into our family Feb. 10th 2010. He is such a sweet tender heart. He is 10 months old and learning so many things! We bet he'll be walking by Christmas. He is so close! Kristin stays busy with Will and the kids. Most of her time is spent keeping the household functioning and playing with the kids. When she gets time, she still enjoys playing the piano, and working on her calling. She is the Relief Society Meetings Coordinator.

Libby is 7 and in 1st grade. She loves many things, we could go on forever. Lately she has been into silly bands, scarves, jewlery. She never leaves home without some type of accessory. She can't wait to be 8 so she can get her ears pierced. She loves to listen to music in her room. She is singing in a choir called "Half Notes." She likes that and is a very good singer. She is a great student and is a great reader and writer. She likes to draw, too. Libby is such a blessing to her parents! She is helpful and she plays well with her brothers and sister.

Larry is 5 and in Kindergarten. He loves school and is very well behaved in class. He is diligent in learning how to read. We are impressed that he tries so hard and doesn't give up. Larry also likes legos and is a good builder. He likes to draw and write. Larry loves life and is happy most of the time. We are greatful to have this funny little man around!

Adalyn is 3 and will do preschool with her Mom in September. Adalyn's eyes are doing well. She has 20/40 vision in both eyes which is amazing for someone with aniridia. We struggle to get this girls hair done and teeth brushed, but she is so fun to have around! She loves people, especially people that will play barbies with her. She is a social child, but she has her favorites. She seems to stick with her best buds pretty tight. Adalyn loves to dance and boy can that girl run!

We love you all and wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, too! Thank you for all your love and support. We are truly blessed to have so many loved ones who care. We care for you, too. Stay safe and warm this holiday season!

Love, the Petersons
