Among the greatest of
gifts is the gift of love.
With 2014 drawing to an
end, we pause to reflect on the year’s events and realize that we have been
given much love throughout the year.
Spencer: On March 1st
I was in the Gilbert Temple Cultural Celebration. I got to do the fire dance. It was a really good experience and I enjoyed
it a lot. It rained a ton, but I still
had fun dancing. Now I am in the 7th
grade. Junior high is harder than
elementary school, but I’m managing.
Sometimes I have a lot of homework, but most of the time I don’t have
that much. Computers is one of my
favorite classes. We work on a lot of
cool projects. I made the flag football
team. We lost all but two of our
games. We got to go to Mexico during
fall break. I got to go snorkeling with
my Dad. We saw lots of sting rays and an
angel shark. I’m currently on the
basketball team. I like it when I come
home from my games and my dad teaches me cool basketball skills to help me with
my game.
I felt
love this year when… I was in the cultural celebration.
Bryant: This year has been
pretty fun. For spring break we got to
go to Lego Land with my Uncle Aaron and Aunt Shannon and their family. We got to go on some pretty fun rides. In the summer, we got to go to California for
a family reunion. It was fun because we
got to play with our cousins on the beach a lot. A couple of weeks after that we got to go to
Snowflake for the Flake Rodeo and the parade.
During soccer season I didn’t want to play so decided to learn how to
cook instead. My mom is my teacher. I’ve made stuff like waffles, cookies, pie,
and pancakes. In November I took 5th
place in the half mile school turkey trot.
I felt
love this year when… Grandma and Aunt Shannon came to my turkey trot to cheer
for me.
Karalee: I am 8 years
old. My birthday is on November 1st. My baptism was on November 15th. I am in 2nd grade. I do a lot of math. I like math.
I like recess too. Christmas is
coming up. I am going to be happy. I am in soccer. On my birthday I scored a goal. Mostly I play defense. In January I am going to learn cursive. I am excited.
I felt love this year when… I got baptized.
Marlee: I am 5 years
old. I like to color. I am in kindergarten. My favorite things to do at school are art
and recess. I love learning how to read
books. I love it when my mom reads to
me. I got to play soccer this year. I was the only girl on my team. My favorite color is blue. My favorite food is chicken nuggets and
French fries.
I felt love this year when… I was loving my Momma.
Tilly: I just turned 3 years
old. I talk a lot. I love books.
One of my favorite books is The Three Little Pigs. I like to “make a tower” out of my
books. I love to color and watch
movies. My favorite movies are “Despicable
Me 2”, “Frozen”, “Incredibles”, “Up” and “How to Train Your Dragon 2”.
I felt love this year when … I went to Grandma Days.
Chad and Mindy are still holding down the fort at our home in
Gilbert. We enjoy keeping up with our
children’s activities…we also enjoy our weekly date night for a little alone
time. Chad serves in the Elder’s Quorum
Presidency at church and uses his talents in his “basketball ministry”
assignment. In January Mindy was called
to serve in the Young Women’s at church.
She is so grateful to teach and be taught by the amazing young women in
our ward. She was excited to help with
the Gilbert Temple Cultural Celebration and to sing in the Cornerstone Choir
for the temple dedication.
We
felt love this year… when we spent time with our family.
We love you
and hope the gift of love reaches your hearts and home,
The Sanders
