Welcome to the Kunz family Christmas card, which we’re actually getting out before Christmas this year, so you should be proud of us.
Eric has been exercising his carpentry skills, transforming an ancient, filth-ridden chicken coop into a cabin that serves as the epitome of rustic comfort. He will probably soon have an HGTV show of his own. Jury’s still out on whether it will be called Coops to Castles or Cabin Fever: Ultimate Upgrade Edition.
After two more of her children got married this year, Trisha is enjoying being a mother-in-law to three daughters-in-law and a nana to little McKay. She secretly wants more grandkids, but she needs to be patient. Those will come in time.
Ryan Kunz and the lovely Breanne got married, traveled the world, and pretty much lived the dream. Ryan is having trouble remembering all that, however, because he just had double hernia surgery and is realizing exactly how many activities require abdominal muscles—including breathing, coughing, sneezing, twisting, eating, existing, and—somehow—writing the family Christmas card.
Reilly graduated physical therapy school and is taking Briana and McKay out to tend to the needs of a remote frontier community in Montana. Reilly will help the residents regain movement, manage pain, and maybe cope with arrow wounds, dysentery, and snakebites. (Oh, what was that? They have a Target there?)
Connor and Claire underwent several major life transitions, including marriage and getting an adult job. They live in a quaint old schoolhouse that’s super cute and possibly haunted. Their real estate agent assures them that the creepy little girl who sometimes stands behind them in the bathroom mirror is just a charming quirk that old houses have.
Dillon is still at BYU, where he recently organized a spur-of-the-moment, 100-person lightning tournament that culminated in the referee actually breathing fire. He’s trying to apply that same ingenuity, organization, and energy to dating, though it’s getting expensive to bring along a fire-breathing circus performer to each date.
Abigail is on a mission in Zimbabwe, where she preaches the gospel, washes her clothes by hand, and plays games with little children. In only a few months there, she has dealt with cholera, street riots, water shortages, robbers, and eating rice for every meal, none of which are made up.
This year, in addition to helping Dad fix up the chicken coop, Quinn collected all six Infinity Stones, making him the most powerful being in the universe. Plus, he won the family ghost pepper ramen challenge while his brothers nearly died, which is probably more impressive.
Merry Christmas and a happy New Year from the Kunz family!
