Annual Christmas Letter

Here's the annual Steele family Christmas letter. We don't do cards and since we've become tech geeks, an e-version is the only way to go. Merry Christmas!



Dear Family and Friends,

It’s that time of the year again. You know, Christmas cards and annual family Christmas letters. So here goes ours . . .

In March, Sean marked 2 years with Cummins Power Systems and had the opportunity to travel to Las Vegas with work. Unfortunately, I made the stupid decision not to join him and stayed home and worked while he had all of the fun.

April kept us really busy. We visited friends in Virginia, and Sean experienced some of Marci’s childhood friends during their annual get-together at Cove Valley Camp in Mercersburg, PA. He now can explain the ins and outs of the game Corn Hole.

We traveled to South Africa in June to spend time with Sean’s Grandparents, Auntie and Uncle and cousins. While we were there we attended his cousin’s wedding and had the privilege of touring and sightseeing around Cape Town and Stellenbosch.

In July we spend a weekend in the Poconos with Marci’s parents and some extended family. It’s always so relaxing and restful.

August was a year of home ownership. Even with a new home, we are realizing how much work goes into the constant upkeep and making it ours. It doesn’t help that Sean continually comes up with new decorating ideas and home improvement projects.

This fall Marci started her 9th year teaching 2nd grade in Manheim Township School District. No longer the new kid on the block.

In November we took a short trip out to Phoenix to visit Marci’s sister, brother-in-law and nephews. 80 degrees in November is quite nice!

Marci attended her 15th year high school reunion. We actually all looked similar to our old high school selves. Okay, so our hair isn’t quite as big and we’ve gained an inch here or there, but really not so bad.

Now we look forward to a new holiday season of fun, friends and family. May God bless you this season and in the coming year.

Love,
Sean and Marci

Made me anxious to see those boys when I looked at the picture of them and you, Marci. :0) Mom E.
