A great end to 2011!

We have had a wonderful & busy time these last few months of 2011...

We went up to Williams to board the Polar Express with our dear friends the Davenports. Emma & Lauren had a great time. They truly are best friends! We missed Daddy- as he was in school, but are looking forward to going next year!

We spent Thanksgiving in Munds Park at Jody & Colleen's cabin. Emma loves going up there and the weather was crisp & cool. Emma wants to buy her "own pink Rhino for $500" when she "gets bigger" :o)
Emma had her very first Mini-Gymnastics Meet in December. Most of the family came to see her show off her tumbling skills.

The very next week, Emma & the rest of her preschool performed 4 Christmas songs. It was beautiful! I had tears of joy running down my cheek as I realized how very blessed we are & to see our angel up on stage for the very first time.

Brian's work hosted 2 Christmas Parties! The first was a Family Party with crafts, bounce houses & slides, face painting, reptiles and so much more. The second was the adult party at Westin Kierland. It was a nice date night for us!

Christmas finally arrived & God's helper- Santa Claus visited our home. Emma really understood a lot more this year. She realized Santa was going to bring her presents and it was awesome seeing her precious face light-up at the site of the presents under the Christmas Tree.

(I'm still trying to figure out this blog-thing... the first picture posted here should be down further for Emma's Preschool Christmas program :o)

2011 was full of God's blessings and we are excited for 2012!

We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas & pray 2012 will bring happiness & peace!
