Christmas Break





Oh what a break we've had, although I don't know that I would call it a break! The boys broke lots of things, does that count?? At least I can say it has never been boring! I have to say that I officially lost count of how many things were broken over break! I do know that I am 3 Christmas dishes short. And there was the time that Kaleb and Kyson decided to go "bowling" using my Christmas tree bulbs! At the time it wasn't funny, but now that I look back it is pretty humerous. They also discovered that the could jump off of many things and land safely including Kaleb's very tall bed. They both got remote controlled helicopters from Grandpa Becker, so far they haven't crashed into too many things!! I think Kyle enjoys playing with them more than the kids, see above picture. One of the funniest moments of Christmas was when we were shopping with my mom and Beccy and Kyson expressed " I hate that Target!" Out of the clear blue he said it, we all rolled laughing, now of course he says it all time! You never know what's going to come out of his mouth! We celebrated his 2nd birthday on December 7th. Kaleb continues to have a very soft heart. We recently "adopted" a neighborhood cat , much to Kyle's dismay, and Kaleb has to check it first thing in the morning and when he gets home from the sitters.
We were very blessed to be able to spend Christmas with both families and extended families.
We also hosted Christmas at our house for the first time. For those of you who didn't know we added on to our house this summer, so it was great to have the added space to be able to have people over.
Kyle started a new position the first of the year. He is now the Sales Manager at Green Ford here in Abilene. He has been looking forward to moving up for some time now, and is very excited to be starting a new chapter in his life. So if any of you need a new car, let him know, he is very good at finding whatever you want!

I continue to teach Special Education. I am very lucky to have an easy caseload this year that significantly decreased from last year. I am in charge of the self-contained classroom which educates more severe students. I am also coaching a travel vollebyall team for 14s during the next few months.

Hope this find all of well and starting of to a great year.

Cheers!
