As we have reflected on this year, we
are humbled by all of the wonderful things we have been blessed with.
It has been a great year and we have so much to be thankful for.
Greg- Greg reached his year mark
working at Enterprise Rent-a-Car last month. He has worked hard and
learned a lot in the last year working at various Enterprise
locations in Boise. In October an assistant manager position opened
up at the Jackson Hole, Wyoming Airport. He interviewed for the
position and was offered the job very soon after. After a lot of
prayer, we felt like it was the right thing for our family to move
three weeks before Christmas! Since Jackson is a pricey place to
live, we actually live about 45 minutes away from the airport in a
little town called Victor. It snows a lot, but it sure is beautiful.
Haley- At the beginning of this year we
found out that we were pregnant with our fourth child. Everyone was
very excited for the new addition, especially when we found out that
after having three girls, we were finally having a boy! I kept myself
busy in the mean time taking care of our three daughters, working at
VIPKid (as an online ESL teacher), and serving in Young Women's. In
April Greg and I celebrated our 8 years of marriage by watching the
ballet, Swan Lake. It was an amazing performance. We were able
to see family quite a bit this year, including a trip to St. George
to visit my parents on their mission and attend Greg's grandparents'
60th wedding anniversary party.
Emily- Emily loved her Kindergarten
year and learned so much. She is becoming a very good reader and
loves reading to her sisters. She started 1st grade in
Boise and is completing the year in Victor. It was a hard adjustment
for her at first, but she is starting to come out of her shell and
enjoy her new school more. Over the summer she took swim lessons and
attended a nature camp, both of which she loved. She is always doing
some kind of craft and is a very creative girl.
Leslie- Leslie turned 3 this year. She
loves to play with her sisters all day long. She went to Nature Camp
with Emily this summer and loved every minute of it. She has enjoyed
play dates that we do, frequent visits to the park, and the autumn
activities of going to the apple orchard and the pumpkin patch. She
got to go to Primary last Sunday and talked about it all week. She
has a bright smile and brings us so much joy.
Abby- Abby turned 2 this year. She
always has a little smerk on her face. Although she is very young,
she has quite a sense of humor and makes us all laugh. For Halloween
the girls were all witches. She loves having two older sisters and
being part of the fun. She enjoys being outside. This summer we
roasted marshmallows, went to Lucky Peak, and experienced the
Sawtooths, all of which she loved.
Caleb- Caleb just turned 3 months old.
He was born on September 21 and weighed 8 pounds when he was born. He
is by far our biggest baby. He has started to smile and have more
personality, which is very fun. We love having a little baby boy. We
are so grateful to add him to our family.
We are thankful for our Savior, Jesus
Christ and this time of year to reflect on His birth. We wish you all
a very Merry Christmas!
With Love,
The Burrs
Greg, Haley, Emily, Leslie, Abby, and
Caleb
