Christmas 2009

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy 2010!

Marissa is now almost 11 and is in 5th grade. We cannot believe that middle school soon approaches us. Marissa is a very sweet, kind and sensitive girl who thoroughly enjoys life. Marissa is in a very challenging class this year and continues to prove herself. Marissa made the Honor Roll for the first trimester and received the Student of the Month award for October. What a great way to start her year! Marissa took Hip-Hop dance lessons last winter and continues to sing with the children’s choir at church.

Joshua is now almost 7! Our little boy started 1st grade in August. He is now in school a full day. Joshua received Student of the Week award this year and is reading beyond his years. Joshua played his 2nd season of soccer this fall. This spring Joshua will be playing baseball for his 2nd season about which he is very excited. He will get to hit the ball from a pitching machine rather than from a tee. Joshua enjoys reading to his little sister, playing sports and singing in the church choir with Marissa.

Sophia just celebrated her 3rd birthday! Yes, she is three and not supposed to be a baby any more, but she certainly is OUR BABY. Her favorite phrase is, “I don’t want to.” Where she comes up with that, we have no idea. She’s a very independent and spicy little one! Sound familiar??? She just might take after her brother. We love her dearly and she is so much fun. She makes us laugh daily by the things she says and does. Sophia enjoys going to MOMS group with me, dressing up, coloring and playing with her friends.

Kevin and I are doing well. Kevin continues to work for American Specialty Health and he just completed his 10th year in May. It’s hard to believe that! I am keeping busy substitute teaching, being a chauffeur to and from the kids’ activities, going to MOMS groups @ church, getting up early and heading to the gym, and being Joshua’s Room Mom for his 1st grade class. With my spare time, I continue to update my BLOG. That allows me to keep in touch with many of you. You can check it out at: www.the5bergerons.blogspot.com.

Our thoughts, prayers and love are with you all year round.

God’s Blessings,
Kevin, Denise, Marissa, Joshua, and Sophia

A new BERGERON Christmas tradition

I saw this Santa Bag in the Pottery barns Kids catalog and thought it would be such a fun new tradition for the kids to put it out on Christmas Eve night in anticipation that Santa would fill it with gifts! It came in today;'s mail and the kids are so excited. We had our last name embroidered on it so that Santa wouldn't get it confused with his own bag. It's such a fun and festive bag and the kids are very eager to put it out. It will be fun for me to watch them year after year peek into the bag on Christmas morning to see what Santa brought them. Then when the kids are grown and gone, I'll still have to put it out to remember all the fun times the kids had peeking into the bag. Since Joshua carries the family name, someday he'll get the bag to put under his tree. In the meantime, I will enjoy these special childhood memories. The years are going quicker and quicker and the kids are growing up so fast.
During this special time of year, don't forget that: Jesus is the REASON for the Season. All these traditions are fun, but it is that little baby that was born on Christmas morning that came to save us.......
For us unto a child is born, us unto a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Councilor, The Almighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6

Sunday School Program

The kids did a wonderful job at the Sunday School Program this year. This was Sophia's 1st year in the play. She was a sheep. She came up to sing the songs with the big kids but also decided to dance through most of them. She truly enjoyed herself.

Student of the Month

Well, what a fun thing to report once again....Bergeron #2 got Student of the Month! We are so proud of our little guy. He works hard, gives it his best, doesn
t complain, and is a great role model...says his teacher. I don't think she knows the same kid we do, but we're glad she doesn't know the other side of Joshua and that he is indeed shining at school.
Here are a few pictures from his special day!
Many Blessings!
