Dear Family and Friends,
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! We’re so excited to send this holiday letter this year. It’s been a very eventful year and we’re excited to share it with you. In April, we had a beautiful baby girl and we named her Kennedi Ray. She’s been such a blessing to us and is the sweetest baby. It’s amazing to see how fast she’s growing up. Kennedi loves to crawl around, play with her toys (especially the ones she’s not supposed to have like mommy’s decorations and sewing machine) take baths, and our favorite-give big, wet kisses. She’s such a happy, fun-loving baby. Mike’s still going to school to be a civil engineer. He has hopfully 2 more semesters until he’s finished. After finishing school, he has a job with Thompson’s Engineering and then we plan to build a house and settle down. I’m finishing up my last year teaching orchestra. I have really great students and I enjoy my job, but I’m looking forward to staying home next year to be a full-time mom. We’re excited for the holidays and hope you all have a great holiday season this year. We love you!
Merry Christmas!
Love, Mike, Sharlie and Kennedi Winder
