Our Christmas Letter...


Merry Christmas
2010

Again, our days have flown by, 
and it’s time for our annual rhyme.
What a wonderful chance to reflect on the year 
that has passed this Christmas time.
Our sweet family continues to learn and grow, 
opportunities have not been few.
Our cup is overflowing, with  love 
and support of family and friends, both old and new.

Doran, still blessed to be at Honeywell, 
has been educated as a casting engineer.
So, with his worldwide transitioning duties, 
he adds facility certification to his career.
He has filled our yard with fruit trees, a garden, flowers, 
and built a pizza oven, too;
Working as a disc jockey and a specialized machinist 
helps support our whole crew!

Mike has a job he excels at, and loves, 
which makes it easier to have them four hours away!
Allison never stops; super wife, mommy; 
she teaches our grandbabies to live like Jesus every day.
Adam, in grade 2, loves reading, science and playing basketball, 
a big Kobe Bryant fan!
Grace, 4, a new reader, loves ballet and is Mommy’s best friend
and helper in every way she can.
Joshua, now a walker, loves to swing, play, eat pickles too! 
He’s just the sweetest little one year old guy!
Papa and I are so thankful they don’t tire of us, “Grammy Bags” in hand, 
hopping in the car and coming by!

Ethan works for Home Depot, he leads in distribution. 
A new homeowner, his off time is full of honey–do’s.
Cameo loves her job, meds get where they need to be; cheers 
Ethan’s softball, keeps a home and goes to school.
Doran delivers furniture, but is headed to be a photographer full time; 
business continues to grow.
Danyel , an amazing nanny, now will care for brothers, two. 
She loves to sew and craft, & is the best chef I know.

Morgan is our adventurer; lived in places far and near. 
Now in Seattle, he seeks a job, big fishing may be fun.
Kayty, in her 3rd yr. of college, auditions for NAU soon. 
Loves singing, movies, and helping Party City run.
Nathan’s Sr. year, full of football, track, and working on that 1960 truck;
motor sounds so fine.
Suzzy, learns to prepare taxes, mastering pizza dough for the new oven, 
and bread baking, without a whine.  

Eternity, and the joy of family were celebrated this April 24th  past:
 Danyel and Doran together, sealed for time and all eternity, 
Dee and Suzzy 30 years at last.
Summer was again filled with tons of football drills, 
so for our vacation, home we did stay.
In the Spring, Kayty went on her own trip; 
Disneyland’s call could no longer be kept at bay.
Dee’s work travel took him to Michigan and Ohio, 
wondrous sites in church history he did see.
                                                          We endured our Arizona summer in the pool, 
                                                  but did lots of things to make our yard a great place to be.  

The future may have many uncertainties, but this much we do know
   Through the challenges all face, we can learn and continue to grow.
Please know that we ALL have a Savior, who is there for us, through times good and rough.
Remember HIM, whose birth we celebrate now. With Him, we will always have enough.

Much Love,
Dee, Suzzy, Allison, Mike, Adam, Grace, and Joshua Wilkins, 
Ethan and Cameo,
 Doran and Danyel, Morgan, Katelyn, and Nathan

This is so cute! You are amazing and look at the amazing job you have done with your kids as they have grown into adults. So many accomplishments! What a great experience for Doran and Danyel to go through. And Ethan and Cameo got a house! I know by experience that that is exciting! Especially if he works at Home Depot. A discount would be nice. What are in your "Grammy bags"? I love reading your blog! You have great poem skills!
