2016 Christmas Card and Letter.

Hello Everybody!
  Pearl here.  Dad is way behind on things, and probably never would have gotten to writing the update.  So I’m just gonna do it.  Between work and church he stays super bored busy.
I’m 3 ½ now.  Almost 4.  And still super cute!  Mom & Dad call me a monster, but I know they really mean a princess.  I go to pre-school already, and am doing my best to learn the alphabet.  More than pre-school, I love my dance class and I am mom's little partner in crime.  I like to keep mom on her toes and making sure her heart is in tip top condition, I do this by running away and hiding from her at stores.  I think it's so funny, but she hasn't found the humor in the situation yet...
Grace and Lilly are taking a tumbling class, but they also get to take piano lessons!  Lucky.  As soon as I can reach the keys, I’m going to take piano lessons as well.
Grace spends most of her days doing boring homework.  3rd graders get so much homework, it is crazy! Grace got baptized this year the day before we ate a huge turkey dinner.  I was mad that I didn't get to go swimming as well, but they gave me a lot of cookies afterwards, and I got to play with Uncle Kurt, so that made up for it.
 Lilly is in 1st grade and gets homework as well, I think.  It doesn't take her as long to do it, so she has more time to play with me.  We love to play "mom and dad" together, or “Big teenage sisters”, or “Mom and lost cute puppy Mom found on the street”, or “Movie star and really cute fluffy kitty” or barbies, or matching games….you know, the usual. We also like to color, but when we color on each other mom gets mad, so we try to save that for when she isn't looking.
When mom has time to take a break from whatever she does all day she likes to have dance parties with all us girls in the kitchen.  Our favorite song right now is "Shut up and Dance".  Sometimes mom makes us dance to her favorite songs when she was in high school.  She is so weird.
My favorite thing this year was going to the Outer Banks in North Carolina.  We got to catch crabs on the beach, collect sea shells, and play in the waves!  It was so much fun.  My whole family abandoned me in February and left me but it was with some really fun friends so I wasn’t too mad about it.  Mom and Dad, Grace and Lilly all went to Disney World for a week. I still don't understand why I didn't get to go, but I had fun with my friend Molly.  I just keep trying to grow big so I can go next time.
Mom and Dad are the same.  Really boring!  Mom is always doing yoga or making quilts, and dad is always doing bishop or work stuff. When Daddy has free time he like to take one of us girls on a date, but Mommy gets the most dates.  I don't think that's fair, but what can I do, I'm only 3 1/2.
That’s enough about us.  Merry Christmas!  And come visit us! I love to jump on our house guest in their bed bright and early so they know that I am awake and ready to play.
