Letter #8
Christmas 2005
Hello
and Happy Holidays to everyone! It’s me,
Billy Brinkley, and I’m back to write my 2nd official Christmas
letter to all our friends and family. As
you recall I wrote my 1st letter to you all when I was just 10
months old and now I am a BIG 2 ½ years old.
I will be 3 on
I
became a big brother this year and am excited to say that my little brother,
Jonathan Parker Brinkley, came along on May 26th of this year. He’s a pretty neat little guy and I can’t
wait for him to get bigger so we can play cars.
There is nothing better than playing cars and if you ever come over to
our house I will show you my room and we can play cars.
Jonathan
is getting bigger all the time and he is learning to say “Da, Da, Da”. He is rolling over and getting really good at
sitting up. When I lay by him on the
floor he likes to pull my hair. It hurts
a little, but I don’t mind as I know he’s just letting me know he loves me.
I
started preschool in August. I go to the
preschool at CMSU where mom and dad work.
I go 3 days a week and have made lots of friends. We play math games, draw pictures and play in
the loft. We sometimes take walks on
CMSU’s campus and we have gone to visit mom’s office. I really like to go there because I get
suckers! YUM! I really like preschool and will be going
there again in January. This year my
preschool had a float in the CMSU Homecoming parade and mom and I rode on it. We waved at all the people and I got to hand
out candy. It was Fun!
Mom
and Dad are still working at CMSU and enjoy what they do. They are thankful for their jobs and me too
so we can see each other when I’m in preschool.
I am so proud of my DAD! He got
his Master’s degree in Criminal Justice and will graduate on Dec. 16th. We are all so happy for him and I know he’s
glad too as he does not have to keep writing that thing they call a
“thesis”. All I know is that it took a
lot of paper to print it off! J
I
have spent time with my grandparents this year and had fun. I love to go and visit Gamie
and Papoo Brinkley and Mitzi, their dog. Papoo lets me drive his truck and Gamie takes me to Wal-Mart and we love to shop. Grandma Karen and Papoo Rudy Yanez let me have
fun when I visit them too! I get to
drive Papu Rudy’s silver van and Grandma Karen lets me honk the horn and steer
her scooter. She also plays bounce the
ball with me. It’s GREAT!
I
also enjoy spending time with my great grandparents, Grandma and Grandpa
Matthews. They come over a lot and play
cars with me and read me books. Oh yeah…
the grandparents seem to really like Jonathan too. They hug and kiss us both a
lot!
We
have had a good year and I hope that you and your families have too! Mom, Dad, Jonathan and I send our best to all
of you as well as God’s Blessings.
Love,
Bill,
Kristie, Billy and Jonathan Brinkley
