Cousins Christmas Party
The Second Annual Cousins Christmas Party was a huge success! Almost all the local family was able to make it and the ones that weren't stopped by later in the evening so I still got to see pretty much everyone! Aunt Rach dominated everyone by knowing her Christmas carols and Jocelyn's prompt for pictionary telephone had us laughing at the end! ("ho, ho, ho" turned into 3 girls outside in the cold. We aren't completely sure that Will (who read the results) or Jocelyn understood why that was so funny but its probably better that they didn't anyway) Derek amazed us with his ornament decorating skills and Team Couch (Aunt Rach, Will, Hannah, Whit and Mike) edged out the other teams to win at charades/pictionary. Add that to lots of yummy food and I'd say the evening was a success! the goal next year to go get a few of the straggler cousins who are in school this year to be able to make it and keep the tradition growing!

2010 Christmas Letter

It’s been quite a year of fun adventures!
February- I traveled half way around the world (literally) to go swim with the dolphins in Oman! It was nice to trade out the snowy weather of Utah for a week at the beach. Who would have guessed the Middle East would be such a great Vacation destination!
March and April I spent a good 3 weeks in Minnesota at training for my new job at Broadview University, which I am still at, and loving! (Though after those three weeks, I have no plans to move to Minnesota anytime soon)
May included a road trip to Washington and Seattle, and yes, more snow.
July included the Hot Air Balloon Races as part of the Freedom Festival as well as a Road trip to Colorado for some R&R with my cousins.
August- The Llama Festival is something I’ve intended to go to for a few years and 2010 was the year I finally made it! I plan on a repeat appearance for 2011.
September brought a trip to the Alpine slides with some of my favorite people!
In November we competed in the Turkey Trot Triathlon! Whit ran, Brian biked and I swam. Mike did one all by himself! Go Team Shorts!
2010 was a great year with lots of fun adventures and I’m sure 2011 will bring lots of fun new adventure!
I hope your year was just as fun! Merry Christmas! Love, Sheryl
