Merry Christmas 2016!


"The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.  We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth."  
-John 1:14

Just sharing our Christmas letter and some pictures and
wishing you a blessed and joyous Christmas!

For this year's letter we present
The Bissonnette Family 2016 
Christmas "Poet-Tree"

The girls helped me color them which made it really special.  Personal touch and wonderful memories made.  I couldn't ask for more when writing our annual Christmas letter for friends and family, near and far. 


For easier reading, I have copied and pasted the poems below some of the outtakes...





Chris
patient, smart
brewing beer, strumming guitar, moving to Colorado
first time dad to a SON, new job as a consultant at Netsuite (now Oracle), never-tiring driver, Tommy Emmanuel concert
hiking our first 14er as a family, backpacking with Kayla in the Rockies, watching football with his son
caring, goofy
Daddy


                    still Learning the ropes of homeschooling
                           Another pregnancy, another fast birth, another sweet baby
                          Up and down the aisle as bridesmaid for sis’s wedding (K, E, and A all flower girls)                             Reading some wonderful books and still documenting our family on the blog                                    mAking new friends in two different, lovely mom’s groups at nearby parishes. 



Backpacking through the mountains and over streams, 
7 year old Kayla lost a sock on the way. 
She excelled in swimming and began 2nd grade, 
and she reads and continues ballet. 


Elise, 5, tried dance
Kindergarten, soccer next?
conquered swimming fears



Ava
sweet, sensitive
enjoyed tumbling camp
with her big sisters
Four


Spunky, 2 year old, silly Sophie
Heads through {Utah} Nat’nl Parks with glee
In October, traveling onto Cincy
Friendly, sweetie meets Dad’s family


Kolbe, 2 weeks early, was quite a grand surprise
A BOY! Wait… BOY? He’s 4 months old and recently baptized




Sending Christmas love and joy 
from our family to yours!
