Dunn Family Christmas letter

 Merry Christmas from the Dunns

As we come to a close in 2010, we hope to find all of you happy and healthy. What a great year it has been for us. We have been greatly blessed this year with so many things. One of the major highlights of our year was buying our very first home here in Maryland. We live in the country on one acre and just LOVE it! It has been such an adventure coming out here into new territory for us and we have enjoyed all the new aspects of east coast life. We are enjoying, and getting to know the people in our small branch, and have felt very loved and welcomed here. We have the opportunity to have some of Daniel's family come to our home for Christmas this year, and are excited for all the fun festivities!

About us:

Wesley is going to turn 5 in March and is so excited to be going to kindergarten this coming year. He thinks he is so old, and loves to boss Katie around and is very good at coaxing her into doing boy activities and making them sound fun for a girl. He is also very excited to have a baby brother to wrestle, and share a room with. His favorite things are playing outside in our new backyard, wrestling with daddy, and doing big kid chores. He is a very big help around the house.

Katie, 3 years old, is our little princess. She has just recently become obsessed with everything girly. She loves playing dolls and barbies. She loves her older brother and is very good at manipulating him into doing whatever she wants. She is a good little girl, and loves to be independent. She asks every day if the baby will come today, she cannot wait to take care of him.

I am doing great, and so happy to be in my own home. I am due in February, with our 3rd child. I have been keeping busy with the holidays, pregnancy, projects, and especially another highlight of our year, going home to Idaho for 3 weeks over Thanksgiving. It had been 18 months since I had been home. Though, we love our east coast life, we missed all our family and friends, and loved spending time with them. I also enjoyed being pampered by my parents, while I stayed with them. Wesley and Katie got completely spoiled with grandpa and grandma, aunts and uncles, and so many cousins to play with.

Daniel is getting settled in his new position as Branch Manager of Goodman Distribution, where they distribute heating and air conditioning units and parts. In his spare time he likes to play with the kids, a nice break for me, organize his new garage, fix up and research guns, and do many chores for his bossy, pregnant wife. Daniel was able to come to Idaho 1 of the 3 weeks, and enjoyed time away from responsibility. He also had fun with my family, and especially hunting with his brothers in law. Daniel was also able to take a trip to see his family in Texas with his brother, Freddie. They drove about 55 hours round trip in one weekend to see their brother in law Jeremy be baptized into the Church, which was an exciting event for the Dunn family.

Through this holiday season, we have enjoyed reflecting on the birth and life of our Savior, Jesus Christ. We feel so grateful to be a part of this great gospel of him who was born to be the Savior of the world. Merry Christmas! We love you all!

Daniel, Tiffany, Wesley, and Katie Dunn
