Merry Christmas!

Dear Family and Friends:

We hope you are all having a happy holiday season. Jill will be sending the official holiday “letter” (usually cute pictures of our kids) a little late, but I didn’t want to miss this opportunity to thank you all for your friendship and/or bloodship, as the case may be, this year and to give my version of 2008:

Sam’s still our baby although he is three
This year he has learned where to go p
He gets really mad unless he’s had milky
And gets his blanket that’s nice and silky

Zach is a man, or at least he thinks so
He like to eat chips and chew on his toe
He can’t keep his finger from curling his hair
And if you tell him to stop he growls like a bear

Anna giggles at her nickname “banana”
And tells lots of tales of her trip to Montana
She is in the first grade, learning how to read books
But never remembers to hang her coats on our hooks

Josh can’t chew gum because of new braces
He has one love – here’s a hint: “football laces”
He finally moved in with his brother named Scott
Which means he stays up late when he should not

Scottie is studying to become a great actor
He’s got talent, but his dad’s genes are a factor
He’ll sell you tickets before you say “poof”
To a beloved old tale about a Fiddler’s Roof

Jill is running really fast once again
(She ran a long race and beat several men!)
She loves to spend time making holiday décor
Which she never considers a nuisance or chore

Scott spends his days rendering bankruptcy aid
And his nights are spent as the kids’ live-in maid
Sometimes he is crazy and coaches youth football
His team rarely won; but will dominate next fall!

Love,

The Browns
