Dearest Family and Friends,
2020 has been a wild year, but as we have reflected on it, we are grateful for the things we have been blessed with. We have so much to be grateful for.
Greg (36)- Greg has worked at Enterprise Rent-A-Car for three years now. Currently he works as a branch manager at a branch here in Boise. When the Coronavirus became a thing, back in March, it was Greg's brillant idea to buy a trampoline. It has been a great and much needed addition to our home. In April Greg and I celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary in quarantine. Greg did an amazing job making it special and cooked me a fabulous dinner, complete with some cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory! A few months later we went ziplining together at Eagle Island. That was a date we'll always remember!
Haley (36)- It has been an interesting year with a lot of it spent at home. Our kids are currently doing virtual school, so a lot of my day is filled helping them be on top of their school work. I have also tried to be creative with activities we do at home. We've done a lot of crafts, played a lot on our trampoline, and gone on bike rides. Over the summer we went on some fun hikes including Camel's Back, Elephant Rock, Seaman's Gulch, and Silver Creek Plunge. We took a few trips to Utah this summer as well, which is always a highlight. I continue to serve in Young Women's and teach online at VIPKid.
Emily (8)- Emily turned 8 this year and was baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It has been so fun to watch her testimony grow. She is in 3rd grade and loves her teacher. Most of this school year has been online, but she has a good attitude and is learning a lot. She still loves to do crafts, write stories, and draw pictures. She is taking swim lessons at the YMCA and really enjoys it. Greg teaches her piano at home. She just learned how to play Jingle Bells. She is a fun and creative girl.
Leslie (5)- Leslie is in Kindergarten this year. Like Emily, most of her school year has been online, but she is still learning and doing well. This summer she learned how to ride a bike without training wheels. It's a good thing that she is good about wearing a helmet because she rides fast! Over the summer we went to Middleton a lot to visit my parents. They have a neighborhood pool that we would swim in a lot. At first Leslie was terrified and now she takes swim lessons at the YMCA with Emily. Greg also teaches Leslie piano. She is easy going and everyone's friend.
Abby (4)- Abby is a sweet girl with a lot of spunk. Right now her current obsession is Frozen 2. I think I have watched it with her about 10 times. Abby loves her siblings and always wants to play. She loves coloring, drawing, and cracking jokes. This year she memorized the First Vision along with her sisters. She couldn't recite it without a huge smile on her face the entire time! Abby's favorite activities this year were going to the apple orchard, going to Linder Farms, and jumping at Fly High. She has lots of energy and makes us all happy.
Caleb (2)- Caleb is a rambunctious 2-year-old. He is everything boy, but has three sisters. He loves to play catch with his dad. He also knows how to bust a dance move. He has learned a lot this year and just a few days ago started sleeping in a toddler bed. He has very strong opinions about what he likes and doesn't like. Thankfully he really likes his mom! Over the summer we went to the zoo and he loved looking at all of the animals, especially the monkeys. We love having a little boy at our house. He is adored by all of us.
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!
Love,
Greg, Haley, Emily, Leslie, Abigail, and Caleb Burr
