Merry Christmas!

The highlights of 2013 for the Nerios

Brooklyn started first grade and is reading, reading, reading, and also loves math!  She is doing awesome in school, we are so proud of her!  She is riding her bike without training wheels, and has enjoyed her first few sleepovers with friends, losing lots of teeth, and is in girl scouts!

Jamison started Pre-K and is doing a great job also!  He has learned so much and is doing a great job writing his letters!  (Although I can tell the next 12 years aren’t going to be easy getting him to school each day!)  He still loves football, going to work with his dad, and his little stuffed puppy that he is attached to!  He is becoming a handsome young man!

Raegan is our one of a kind crazy girl!  She is smart, sassy, and keeps up with her brother and sister!  She is our techno girl, and loves playing on the iPad, iPhone, and iPod!  Do I see an Apple CEO in our future??  She still has that adorable dimple, and loves to sing to songs on the radio!    She is growing up too fast!

One of the biggest highlights of 2013 was that we moved!  We love our new house, which is less than a mile away from our old one, but twice as much space!  Kids go to the same school, and they love having all the room to run around, inside and out!  We live on a cul-de-sac and the kids love riding their bikes outside and playing with friends in the neighborhood!  Truly blessed!

After 6 years of having our kids at daycare, we started having an in home nanny in August!  We love Ms. Kandle, and it has worked out great having her at home loving our kids each day, being their chauffer, and helping them learn and grow!  Plus we have a ton of great art all around our house thanks to her great projects!

We made a trip to Iowa this summer and included a trip to LEGOLAND in Kansas City on the way!  We enjoyed a trip to the farm, picking cherries, going to the zoo, and seeing family.

No—we didn’t get a dog as the picture may look.  But we did get a chance to have our picture taken with Goldie—the TU ambassador.   She is a new addition to the TU family, and we love seeing her, as well as going to TU events!

Looking back, it was a great year!  So much to be thankful for, including each of you!   We are so thankful for our friends and family near and far, and hope to be seeing each of you soon!

Cheers to looking back at 2013, and looking forward to 2014!
