Once upon a time, in a land far, far away there lived a family.

The King and Queen of the family had 5 royal children and have been living happily-ever-after for 22-years.

Their oldest son, Prince Justin, turned 20 this year. He worked for the Royal Water Company for several years before moving to Nashville, Tennessee. This young prince has created many YouTube videos online and has been practicing his acting skills by auditioning for a mini-series and a major Disney movie. His kindness shows as he also helps his little sister with her music career.

Speaking of his little sister, Princess Jessica has had quite a busy year with many adventures of her own. She wrote, sang and had her song, “Dear Pain” put on iTunes, which features singer/songwriter Lancifer. She also did a collaboration called, “Till the Sun Goes Down” by Lancifer and Jessica Keith, which was played on YES-FM radio in Ohio. The princess also graduated from high school, worked at JCPenney, performed at the Maricopa County Fair, won Taylor Swift tickets by winning a “Sing like Taylor” singing contest, moved to Nashville, plays at Bluebird Café and Douglas Corner Café regularly, and recorded more songs at the Royal Recording Studio in Nashville (just kidding, it’s called Waterworks Entertainment, of course!)

Now it’s time to introduce the royal couple’s 13-year old daughter. Princess Alyssa took ballet for 7 years and performed a lyrical jazz dance she choreographed for their homeschool group’s End of the Year Program. The summer kept her busy with a mission’s trip with her youth group to San Diego where she volunteered at homeless shelters and nursing homes. The princess has been busy with her youth group activities, gymnastics and her 8^th grade studies.

Prince Jayden turned 10 years old and is flourishing in the 5^th grade. He enjoys AWANAS, jumping on the trampoline at Alyssa’s gymnastics, skateboarding, and playing in the tree house & tree swing. He especially loves talking to his older siblings and misses them very much!

Last but not least is Prince Charming Jayce. He’s an enthusiastic, outgoing and loving 3-year old who lights up the palace with his funny antics and humor. He is extremely smart and loves his preschool studies with his private tutor (aka the Queen!) He loves to read, play, go to AWANAS, sing, dance and be like his royal siblings.

One day the royal family left their Kingdom to travel the land so they could help Justin and Jessica move to Nashville.

They journeyed with the best of their horses and carriage (two Dodge Ram pick-ups, one RV trailer and Justin’s Buick Century!) and they became known far and wide with travel through New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Kansas and Colorado.

Their travels included getting the royal kids settled into their new castle, an obstacle course in the trees, zip lines, bungee jumping, alpine slides, ski lift rides, exploring caves, Silver Dollar City Amusement Park adventures, and visiting the Queen’s family in Iowa and the King’s family in Colorado.

Then they ventured to Nashville again for two weeks at Thanksgiving for royal business and they were thrilled to spend time with their children once again!!

Because of the harsh weather, they had to travel distant lands to get back home again.

They traveled through Texas...

...Arkansas, Tennessee, Alabama...

...Mississippi, Louisiana...

...and more Texas.

The Queen marveled...

...at how beautiful the cities were in Texas...

...and the family really enjoyed the very loooong road trip through New Orleans and Houston.

Now that they are home from their journey, the King and Queen would like to extend their warmest wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and a blessed 2014! They pray that the Lord will bless you and your family this season and all the year through!

Please enjoy the pictures of the royal family and their adventures this year.

1 Peter 2:9-10 …for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness and into his wonderful light. Once you had no identity as a people; now you are God’s people. Once you received no mercy; now you have received God’s mercy.
