This is a copy of our Christmas letter. I know most of you have already read it, but I wanted to have a copy on my blog, so I can throw the paper away. So skip this post if you've already read.
Hey there everybody. This is Sydney Paige Ewell. I was born February 9. Mom's been pretty busy getting everything ready for Christmas, and since I've been around for most of the year I decided I'd seen enough to be able to write the Christmas letter this time. So, like I said I was born about 10 months ago and I think I'm pretty darn lucky to have come to my family. They're crazy, but so great.
I love my brother, Hayden. He is 5 and very smart. We take him to his preschool 3 times a week, so he must be pretty smart. He's always practicing what he learns at school, especially writing his name. He makes me laugh so hard. He can make funny faces and voices to make me laugh. He also likes to carry me around. I love it, but mom is always yelling at Hayden to be careful when he does it. I don't know why she worries so much. I have a blast when he swings me around. She's such a worry wart. Hayden also played soccer this year and had swimming lessons in the summer. He's a pretty good swimmer now.
I also love my older sister, Rebecca, but between me and you she sometimes scares me a little bit. She's 3 and a lot bigger than me. She thinks it's fun to ride on my back, like I'm a horsie. That's when I have to yell and yell for my mom to save me. She does play with me though and I love her. She is also really smart and likes to sing songs all the time. She likes her story class that she goes to. She loves Cinderella and Snow White. She just doesn't like it when I'm playing with her preincess toys and sucking on them. But they're so yummy.
I love to suck on pretty much everything. Mom laughs and says that since I'm around she doesn't have to vacuum as much. I hat to brag, but I'm a pretty good girl. Everyone seems to be shocked that I started walking a month ago. there is just so much to see, and walking makes it so much easier to get into everything I want.
I love my daddy too. I love it when he gets home from working at Cintas. I think he does such a good job at work. And I'm glad he likes his job, but I like it more when he comes home. I give him big hugs then when he lays down on the ground I get to climb on him and play with his hair. He also lets me sit on his lap while he's doing his Fantasy Football.
My mommy is the best mommy in the entire world! :) She is pretty busy though chasing all of us kids around. And it seems like she is always cleaning our house. I don't know why she spends her time doing that, it just gets messy right after she cleans it. She likes taking us to play goup every week, and to the library. She is also pretty busy with chruch stuff. She loves working with all the women in our ward with the Relief Society.
Mom and dad say I'm pretty lucky because I got to go to Disneyland this year. I actually slept most of the time, but my family said they had so much fun. It was pretty cool because we got to be there with my Aunt Amy, Uncle Barry, Aunt Jennifer, and Uncle Brian and my cousins. We had fun. We also went up to Utah to see my other aunts and uncles and cousins during the summer. We even got to go to Lagoon and the zoo. We even went up to Utah at Halloween time to say good bye to my Grandma and Grandpa Roylance for their LDS mission in the London Temple. I love going on vacations with my family.
I'm so grateful my mom and dad have such good family and friends as you. Have a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
