Christmas

Merry Christmas 2012

Dear friends and family:

We hope this letter finds you happy and healthy. We also hope you feel the Saviors love this Christmas season.
This year has been full of events for the Valley family.  Here are a few highlights from our year.

William turned one in September. He has a smile that can melt your heart. William is walking, talking mostly babble but says a few words. He knows what he wants when he wants it but for the most part he has an even temperament and is laid back. He loves his big sister and lights up when she comes into the room.

Marissa turned an entire hand, that's right she is 5 years old! Time is flying by. She is attending preschool and dance. She is learning to read in preschool. Sounding out words is a new hobby and spelling has taken on a new meaning in our home. She loves to play dolls, ride her bike & scooter and play pretend.  She is so spunky and full of life; she brightens up our home each day.

Donald got a job promotion with Costco in Spanish Fork, Utah. He has loved opening the new store. He still goes to the gym at crazy hours but is enjoying the change of seasons Utah brings. Donald also loves being home more since he doesn’t have to work two jobs anymore.

I have been staying busy at work, raising children and packing up our home. We want to thank all those who helped us move.  I am excited to be a stay at home mom with two adorable children.

We hope that the Lords blessing shines down upon you and yours this Christmas season.
Love,
Donald, Jeniece, Marissa, and William

Live nativity

We started going to the live nativity several years ago. It has been a fun tradition for our family to help us remember the reason for the season. Here are a few pictures of this years trip.

Marissa turns 5

I can't  believe how fast time is flying by.  My little girl turned an entire hand today, yest 5 years old.  It seems like just yesterday she was born and was given the greatest gift anyone could ask for.  She is so smart, fun, and makes our home a joy.  We love you Marissa.

It seems like only yestday she was this cute baby and now she has turned into a little lady

Halloween fun

This year we all dressed up for Halloween. We had so much fun going trunk or treating then going trick or treating. Marissa had two school Halloween parties. We went to a pumpkin patch and picked our own pumpkins then carved them. Here are a few pictures of the highlights this year!
























We have a happy pumpkin for William and Marissa picked to carve an Arthur pumpkin.



At the trunk or treat



Brooklyn as Snow White, Ryan as a dinosaur and Aunt Kati




Aunt Kati, Brooklyn was snow white and Marissa was Cinderella.




Daniel Tiger William.
Aunt Kati made this cool Halloween trunk or treat back ground and one first prize.






School party so much fun



Yes mommy even dressed up as cruel a devil. I forgot Williams Daniel tiger so we improvised and he became my 101 Dalmatian. We had lots of fun. Papa came with us trick or treating and dressed up as a doctor.






William found the blowing lips and had it in his mouth all night it was so funny





After all the treating we became skeletons. We love auntie Kaisha she got in the action too. We had a great Halloween
