Christmas Card 2010

The Holland Family ABC’s

A is for AUSTIN who just turned 4! He loves pre-school, playing with cousins & friends, and being with his dad. A could also be for the AGGIES who our boys love to support!
B is for BALL…baseball, basketball, volleyball and soccer! The kids have kept busy playing on teams and attending camps. If the kids are playing that usually means that Tyler can be found coaching. It is always fun to watch their confidence grow and skills improve!
C is for CHRISTMAS, our favorite time of the year! We are grateful for this Christmas season and for the life and sacrifice of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
D is for DAD – we sure do love ours! He is hard working, fun, and loves us all.
E is for EVERYTHING that our sweet Summer gets into. E could also be for ENERGY, which she has!!!!

G is for playing GAMES, something our kids have started to love! The game of LIFE has become the family favorite.
H is for our HOUSE. We are grateful for the roof over our heads and heat during the cold months.
I is for ICE CREAM, a family favorite especially in root beer floats!
J is for JUMPING, something Kylee does each week at gymnastics and Nick and Austin do off of any elevated surface in the house!
K is for KYLEE who just turned 8! She was baptized this year and looked beautiful all dressed in white. Kylee is a great friend and spends hours with them creating things. She just got glasses and looks darling in them!
