Duggan Family Christmas Card 2015

For my blog post this week, I am publishing the Christmas card I sent through the snail mail to my family and friends. Now I am sharing it with my faithful reader friends. Enjoy this sneak peek into my daily life! 

Dear Friends and Family,

Happy Holidays from the Duggans! We hope that you are having a healthy and safe winter. In putting together our annual recap, I am reminded that yet another busy year has flown by!

Dan is still a software engineer at Hewlett-Packard. He recently volunteered for the Hour of Code, helping out in a 5th grade classroom in one of the local school districts.

I still teach K-6 General Music in the Boise School District and direct 60+ 4th, 5th, and 6th graders in the Grace Jordan Elementary Choir.

In 2015, I also had the opportunity to perform in Into the Woods as Cinderella and Chess as Florence Vassy with the Music Theater of Idaho. I was nominated for a local Broadway World award for my role in Chess, as well as for my portrayal of Johanna in 2014’s Sweeney Todd.

(Voting is open through December 31 at http://www.broadwayworld.com/boise/vote2015region.cfm if anyone is interested. Wink. Wink. ;))

I will continue performing this year, first as Rose Lennox in musical version of The Secret Garden and then as Laurey in Oklahoma.

Dan and I spent a lot of the summer mountain biking and hiking in McCall and Sun Valley. We took a trip to the Oregon Coast and spent some time at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival for the second year in a row. We also went to Seattle and visited a Star Wars costume exhibit from the Smithsonian.

We had an addition to our family in early August . . .

Don’t get your hopes up! He’s not ours. But he is my new, adorable nephew, Desmond Revis Turner, born to Steve and Kali Turner (my brother and sister-in-law).

Dan and I are celebrating our twelfth wedding anniversary this December. We are participating in a Christmas Fun Run with my school’s running team the weekend of our anniversary. It’s a great way to send my school kiddos into break after two long weeks of winter concerts and holiday programs!

We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Love, Becky and Dan
