Happy Holidays to all our friends and family.....

Okay, so here it is, the official annual letter from the Sanders Clan. Happy Holidays, since we can’t say Merry Christmas, most of you won’t get this “till after “ Lol… Anyway. This year held a lot of change for us.

The family
We moved to New Mexico. A small town called Silver City. And yes it is so small our only shopping is Walmart. Not good for us. It has snowed a few times, which made it fun, but that means it is cold. So in one end of the house we have a wood stove and the other end a pellet stove. Most of you are thinking and laughing but stoves are not a fun source of heat. I and Ron have had to chop the wood, and needless to say, I’m not good with the ax, and have hit myself a few times. Ron is much better at it, only does not have the time to do it. Ron is still working for Qwest, a never- ending nightmare job. But is working hard. Even in the cold.

Lil Ronnie
He has started wrestling and had his first match a few weekends ago in El Paso. He also took a tumbling class, and did baseball too. He is in the 2nd grade but his teachers say he is an A++++ student. He is a good kid, when he’s not teasing his sisters. He hates to clean his room, but loves to play video games.

Shelby
She is my peacemaker in the family. She loves to dance and sing, and show off her talents. She played t-ball when we first got here, and just had her first dance recital this past Sat. She takes ballet & tap and loves cheer and tumbling most of all. She is growing in to a little princess.

Lacy
Oh boy, what to say. She wanted to play t-ball, but didn’t. She did take dance with Shelby but dropped out of ballet and tap. She did do cheer and tumbling and in the recital, she couldn’t do her bridge, so she crossed her arms and pouted in front of the audience. The song they were dancing to, was (Im getting nothing for x-mas) how fitting for her. She is my little trouble maker. But gotta love her anyway. She is a real cute firecracker.

Me, the mom,
Well, right now I’m babysitting for some friends who recently went back to work. I was subbing a lot at the elementary schools, and I was teaching 10 dance classes at the local dance studio. We just started a cheer and dance competition team called Stars. Im really excited it is a lot of work, and stress, but worth it in the end. I just stay really busy.

Ron
He is such a good hard working guy. He works a lot. It rains, and he works, and that is how it goes. He helped a local artist to start up a Music studio for recording and is looking forward to helping with that. Im not sure he enjoys the cold, but he has been a good sport about it. He’s a great dad too.

We surely miss our friends from all over and miss dry warm weather too. We are looking forward to maybe a white Christmas, for the first time, well see. We are wishing you all a happy holiday, and a very wonderful New Years too. Keep in touch.
