David, Joelle and Johnnie Besnette

Carrie has been selected as our local 9news leader of the year. Congratulations! The news release stated: “In her nomination of Besnette for the award, Caz Matthews, president of WellPoint Inc., said, “Carrie acts with a skilled balance of grace and force, never alienating, always respectful, and with a polite and convicted strength that just gets results.”

They should have also mentioned that she is the best auntie in the world to her nephew Johnnie

Anyways, we are all very proud of you Carrie!

Love,

Your Family

My sister Carrie and our great friend Erin just got back from a trip to Nepal. They trekked all over the place and even went to Everest Base Camp. They are back and have some great photos. You can see more of them here

We are having a very nice X-mas today. Gramma Irene is here, and Gramma Linda and Grampa Frank will be flying in later today. We are having snow, so it is a beautiful white X-mas. Carrie and Erin are trekking in Nepal, so we are wishing them a happy holiday from afar.

Johnnie got plenty of Thomas stuff and a National Geographic Tent.

Here are a few photos of the day

Santa (who has lost a lot of weight, I must say) made a special trip to Joanne’s to see the kids yesterday. Johnnie was the first one to tell him what he wants - and you wouldn’t believe it - he wants Thomas and more train stuff!

We have moved to Broomfield, CO. If you need our address, just drop me a line!
