Christmas 2013

Hello everyone! Drew here!

I thought I would take a turn this year for the Christmas letter. I saw the one Mommy wrote last year and between you and me it was PRETTY dull.

So here we go! My 2013 Christmas letter!!!

Mommy’s life has pretty much revolved around me, so I think we can all agree that life is grand! :) She is finishing up her Office Certificate at City College while working at the Jackets and Co bookstore at MSU-B.  She was given a work study position and a Pell grant to help her cover her college expenses. She was thankful for the help, and so was Papa! J I’m so proud of her! This spring she will begin working on a Bachelor’s degree in Business Management.

Uncle Jeff, moved back to Billings this summer and is attending Montana State University Billings also in the Business Management program, but he will also earn a minor in Psychology. He has been working at Abercrombie and Fitch and has enjoyed it, but I think he is excited to start a “big person” job soon.

Nana and Papa are going great! Papa’s new ministry is soaring! His office is in our basement, which I really enjoy. I make sure he gets lots of good distractions! Nana sometimes helps him with some secretarial things, but her main job is to make sure that I’m keeping out of trouble! She is such a blessing to me and my mom.

I guess that leaves me. Being 2.5 years old sometimes gets me into trouble. I thought Vaseline on the TV screen would be fine. Mom thought differently! I thought drawing on the hardwood floor with crayon would demonstrate my creative prowess! That one got shut down really fast. I love playing in the backyard with my best friend, Dawson, my grandparent’s dog. I love everything that has sirens, like fire trucks and police cars. However, dumping everything out on the floor is my utmost favorite thing to do. I like to help Mommy and Nana…or at least look like I’m helping…even though we all know I’m playing. I also enjoy “pwaying” basketball with anyone who will pway with me. My new favorite saying is: “So, Mom…” I love having conversations with my family. My favorite stuffed animal would be Curious George. He and I are inseparable! Uncle Jeff thought I needed him and boy was he right!

We had my first trip to the cabin this summer with some dear friends from Minnesota. It was tons of fun! I loved all of the attention I got. During this trip, we went to Yellowstone Park where I got to experience Old Faithful. WOW! I had so much fun! All of the driving did get old, but I was a champ! We took another trip to the cabin over Labor Day weekend, and I saw my first black bear! I loved “pwaying” by the creek, throwing rocks, and going to the Beartooth Nature Center. Seeing the animals was such a blast! I also participated in Mommy and Me swimming lessons. I enjoyed the water and learning how to become a better fish! I love the water and can’t wait for future lessons.

We wish for you a wonderful Christmas season and a blessed New Year!

Love,

Drew and Mommy, too!
