Here is our 2009 Christmas Card and letter. I hope you all are enjoying this Christmas season. It seems like this year has gone extremely fast. I can't believe we are only a few weeks away from Christmas. Merry Christmas and a Happy 2010 from the Engers!!!
Greetings Family and Friends –
It has been hard for me to sit down and write a Christmas letter this year because I feel like we don’t have much to talk about. There hasn’t been too many exciting things happening to us lately, so I guess we can consider that a good thing. So I hope I don’t bore you too much with our lives. They aren’t overly exciting, but they are ours. This year, I decided to do something a little different. Rather than brag about how wonderful we are and how happy we are J I thought I would update you on each of our 2009 likes, interests and dislikes.
