2010 has been a great year for our family! One of the highlights of our year was our cross-country road trip. Wewere so blessed to visit many family and friends along the way, and took time to explore in Nauvoo and Washington D.C. It was quite an adventure! The kids are all in school now and loving it. Nick still enjoys cartooning and working at DMBA, and I'm enjoying more free time at home. We truly have the best kids in the world; wonderul, unique and full of personality and character...

Sadie - I am in Kindergarten because I'm FIVE! I love food experiments at school and I can read lots of words. Fancy Nancy is the best book. And I am great at being nice to everyone, so I've got a bunch of friends. I like to eat candy and I am good at playing games. I love to play dress ups with my friends and have tea parties. I am good at playing with my brothers and cleaning my room. My favorite food is watermelon and my favorite color is PINK!

Nathan - I am eleven years old and very good at video games, my favorite being Pikmin. I recently won an award for my art at school and I love to draw. I hit a growth spurt this year and grew 3 inches! But I am still the smallest kid in my class. I do a paper route for the Davis County Clipper. It is the smallest route in the county, but I still get good money for it. Calvin and Hobbes remains my favorite book.

Brandon - I am eight years old! I am in third grade. I'm good at video games and puzzles. I like to draw and read Spiderwick books. I almost have my Wolf badge in Cub Scouts. In school I like learning about art and health, and I love science. My mom says I have perfect cursive handwriting and I know my times tables. My favorite foods are ice cream and pizza.

We hope you all have a wonderful holiday season and a peaceful 2011! Wishing you lots of love from the Perkins family!
