Merry ChristmasThe holiday cheer is in BIG

supply around the Keener 

home. Our decorations were

 up by Thanksgiving weekend 

and Aaron asks everyday if 

the newly wrapped presents under the tree were delivered 

 from Santa for him.

It’s important to remember in the

middle of this joyous time that

the real reason we celebrate is for

the birth of Christ and the

sacrifices that God made to give

us his son.

Good ByeTo our Motorhome.

It took us on a lot of 

 great trips and gave

 us a lot of wonderful 

memories.

WelcomeOur new Fun Finder 

 X trailer to the

 family. You have

added a lot of fun

back into camping.

  We started our trip after seeing Jen’sDad, Gary, retire from the South Coast  AQMD after 40 (?) years of service. Itwas a very exciting event where he wasgiven an award for his service and a goldmedal from the 1984 Olympics. Awesome!

Our road trip to  Wyoming took usthrough Salt Lake on the first night.On the second day, we hit a snow stormgoing over South Pass. It was a bitstressful but we arrived safely.

 Aaron’s big question was how the EasterBunny was going to find him. We toldhim the Easter Bunny can find all little

girls and boys. And you know what hestill has a perfect record.

  Aaron had a great time meeting hisGreat Grandma O’Brien and all of theother aunts, uncles and cousins. He wasquite the Easter Egg hunter as well.Finding more than his share of the candyfilled eggs. We want to thank the O’Brienand Keener families for showing us sucha great time while we were in Wyoming and Utah.

z Easter In Wyoming zThis year we turned Easter sunnyside down and made the trek to

Wyoming, where it was SNOWING. Aaron met a lot of cousins he

never knew he had and we had one long road trip to talk about for 

 years to come.

 WOULD THE E ASTER BUNNY FIND A  ARON?

uly 2010 brought some change into our lives. After 10 years of working at Sunstone Hotels, Shane was laid off.

Rather than sit around and think about it, we took a familytrip to Oahu. We stayed in Waikiki at the Princess andKo’Olina at the Marriott Villas.

e played in the water A LOT. We got to pet sea turtles.See how pineapples are grown. Walked on the USS

 Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor. Ate the best shrimp ever

from a Shrimp Shack on North Shore. Danced in a Luau. And I am sure I forgot something.

ore importantly when we got back, Shane had a new jobas Vice President of Online Strategy for Yo!Dog 

Marketing. He was hired to help grow this start up into a

premier internet marketing company focusing on hotels. He isalso lucky enough to continue doing what he has a passionfor.
