Merry Christmas!

2009 has been a great year for the Washingtons and one full of firsts.


Sara started Primary (children's sunday school) as a Sunbeam and participated in her first Primary Program. She let everyone know that she will help strengthen her family by "Bein' Referent!" - being reverent

Bryan participated in the Scofield Triathalon for the first time and finished impressively.

Lara went on to her first business trip with Flutterbye.

We had our first successful beehives, harvesting 9 gallons of delicious honey.

Blake got his first bee stings - he would try to catch the bees.

We went on a family vacation to Disneyland, Sea World, and the Pacific Ocean for the first time.

Lara cut off 13" of hair for her very first "boy haircut" as Sara refers to it. Lara thinks it is short, sassy, and loves it.

Bryan shot his first elk, filling our freezer with +350 lbs of meat.

Lara learned to cook delicious elk entrees. Honestly, we now like elk steak better than beef!

Blake learned to ride his first tricycle.

Bryan made his television debut on the local sporting show Hooked on Utah.

We enjoyed our first summer at the cabin after deciding that a fully functioning bathroom and kitchen were enough for us. Bryan is ready to retire his fishing pole and purchase a Lightening McQueen or Barbie pole due to the high volume of fish the kids reeled in.

We hope you and your family had a wonderful year as well. May the Lord bless you in 2010.

Love,
The Washingtons
