Christmas Letter
Merry Christmas Everyone!!! I have been a little busy lately and although I had our Christmas letter all typed up about 2 weeks ago, I don't think there is any way I'm actually going to be able to print, address and mail them all. So I've decided to post it on the website instead. If you'd like a printable copy I can email one to you (it won't have all the pictures on it, but the text is more colorful).

10: Jacob has used the big-boy potty TEN times now and he is getting ready to be potty trained. Woo Hoo!
9: Jacob also played dress up with at least NINE different outfits this year. He has been a cowboy, a pirate, Bob the Builder, a knight in shining armor, a fireman, a policeman, a transformer, Buzz Lightyear, and an Army guy.
8: Miekka re-upholstered EIGHT chairs for our dining and living rooms. (The green one is the one I did, the purple material was stained and nasty.)
7: Seth played in SEVEN T-ball games and had a great time learning about teamwork and good sportsmanship.
6: SIX new sets of Shelves now fill our expanded storage room.
5: We took FIVE trips to Disneyland this year. It was great to be there with almost all of our extended family and to have a couple of trips with just our immediate family too. Hooray for annual passes!
4: Seth has learned FOUR new poems by heart in his Kindergarten class. He loves going to school!
3: James had THREE different jobs this year. The ups and downs were stressful, but everything seems to have worked out okay so far.
2: Our TWO wonderful Boys are growing up so fast. They are getting to be good friends and they love their new sister.
1: We welcomed ONE new Baby into our family. Lia Marie Lance was born on November 13th at 4:59 p.m.. She weighed 7 pounds and was 19 1/2 inches long. She's super cute, has a full head of beautiful black hair and is a wonderful baby.
