In keeping with our current "put all extra money toward school debt & move into an apartment to do so" way of living, we pared down our newsletter and photo budget quite a bit this year. So, if you normally get a picture and didn't this year, please don't take it personally and know the odds are good that you'll be back on the list in the future.
In keeping with blogging tradition, I'm posting our newsletter (the shortest, sweetest, and easiest one I've ever done) and annual family picture for everyone who didn't get the real deal. We also got a cute shot of the kids together and one of Tim and I, which I've included. Tim and I haven't had professional pictures of us as a couple since our wedding and this one was dirt cheap, so I'm really glad it turned out!

2010 - A WEATHERSBY YEAR IN REVIEW
.
Many of you keep up with our family through Bethany’s blog, weekly pictures on our Picasa page, or Facebook. So, rather than highlighting all the things you already know, we’ll have the kids tell you a little about themselves this year.
Silas (the efficient list maker) - I like puzzles & Sudoku. I like my birthday and science. I love baseball! I like candy, especially sour patches, but I don’t like most chocolate. I like movies. I like snow. I love to cook! And that’s all.
Devon (the random comedian) - I’ve lost six teeth total and I have four that I’ve saved. I want to see if the Tooth Fairy takes a whole bunch at a time. (Insert total cheeseball voice with silly facial expressions.) I love science! I like mystery books, as long as their not 400 chapter books. I love climbing. (Return to normal voice.) I love playing tricks on my brother, especially this one –I take a piece of paper and write “Read what?” on it. Then I ask Silas to read it to me. When he reads “Read what?”, then I say (insert annoyed tone here) “Read this!”
Naomi (the sweet-tooth snuggler) – I love to go to church and have sprinkle doughnuts. I like Piggy (a stuffed animal she has) and Hello Kitty (another stuffed animal) and to decorate the Christmas tree and have fun. I like to draw. I like to have a doughnut date. I like markers.

I LOVE the pic of just the kids. It looks like the boys actually WANT to have their arms around each other, and N. You and Tim are doing such a great parenting job, B27. God bless your family.

I love those pictures!
What fantastic pictures!! :) Love the letters from the kids. Too bad I can't use that idea myself!
I'm definitely going to have to pull Devon's "Read what?" trick on somebody one of these days.
GREAT pics!!! You are a beautiful people :o) Love the letters form the kids. Great idea!
Lovin' all the smiles.
Thanks for sharing.
Blessings,

Love the pics - so fun! I started saving money on our Christmas Letters several years ago by creating a blog just for them. I keep track of who in the family (mostly the older generations) that don't have internet or a PC/MAC and mail them one. About every 2 years I spend money on the Costco "Christmas picture postcards". Great ideas on saving Bethany - way to go!
cute pics of the family, the kids, and you and Tim.
