A Look back at 2011

We sent out 70 Christmas cards this year and I think we still missed some friends and family, so here's our card if you didn't get one!

2011 was another fabulous year!
-Sophie turned 3 and enjoys her weekly princess playgroup, attending my preschool, and mornings at the rec. center daycare. She says the darnedest things and is always making us laugh!!!
-Garen turned 5 and enjoys 2 different preschools, an all boys gymnastics class, and even tried soccer this year. He's loves learning to write and spell new words, play preschool, and computer games.
-Maddie turned the big 8 and had a beautiful baptism! She started 3rd grade and has kept very busy with, the gymnastics team, piano, figure skating, activity days, choir, and soccer. She loves to read, draw, do crafts, and has been so helpful to me with the house and her siblings! She even got the 2nd highest math testing school in all the 3rd grade!
-Emily started her 3rd year of teaching preschool out of our home and loves being able to teach especially Garen and Sophie. She teaches the Laurels in Young Women each Sunday and has learned a lot from them. In September we found out we are expecting baby number 4! The rest of her time is spent taking the kids to the places they need to be and desperately trying to keep up with laundry and dishes.
-Andy is enjoying working at Bridger Coal and really enjoying the weekends and Holidays off! He stays busy being Elders Quorum president, moving people in and out of the ward almost weekly it seems. And he tries to sneak in some basketball playing.

We can't wait to see what new adventures 2012 has in store for us!
