Christmas Blessing From The Burnham Family 2009
Luke 2:11 “For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord”

20 years of marriage! Bruce and I celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary on September 23rd. Holy cow, where does the time go! Bruce is in his 15th year and San Fernando Middle School, still playing soccer, football, basketball, ultimate Frisbee, handball, and sometimes even tag, with the kids, I guess it keeps him young. This is Bruce’s 2nd year coaching the girls club soccer team, and he is still of course playing soccer with his outdoor team, The Bulldogs. I feel like I write the same thing for me every year, so here it goes: Still home schooling the girls, still going to Tuesday morning Bible study, still bowling on Wednesday morning and still happily being Bruce’s wife and Kayla and Kami’s mom!

Kayla 14 years old! Kayla turned 14 on October 21st and is in the 9th grade.
HIGH SCHOOL! What the heck, what about my baby…Not much has changed with Kayla since last year, well her hair color, but only for the summer. Kayla had hot pink streaks in her hair and loved every minute of them. This past winter and summer Kayla traveled with The Mr. J Band and Kid Possible Ministries, where she sang and played the keyboard. So her hair fit in well with her life on the road with “the band”. Music is on the top of Kayla’s list, she is still taking piano and voice and this summer she taught herself how to play the guitar. She is borrowing a guitar from Mr. Brainerd while she pays off the one she put on layaway. Texting and hanging out with her friends is also on top of her list. Bruce and I are very happy that God is a priority and is number 1 on her list, and somewhere on that list school work gets in the mix.

Kami 11 years old! Kami turned 11 on April 29th and is in the 7th grade.
WHERE DID OUR LITTLE KAMSTER GO…Kami is quite the character, one of a kind that Kami is. I put last year in my letter that Kami is our go to gal when we need something done, well nothing has changed, in fact her nick-name is Assistant Manager. Let me tell you that is not for long she is moving up the latter quickly and before you know she will be running the whole show. Besides her managerial skills she is a witty little kid with a great scene of humor, she keeps us on our toes that’s for sure. She loves playing on her soccer team and scoring goals, and LOVES her teammates very much. Of course texting and friends is a top priority for Kami and like her big sis God is number 1 on her list as well. School work, well, when Kami is not busy taking care of her managerial duties she gets school in.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas, Bruce, Michelle, Kayla & Kami
