Last Post for 2011

So I know one day I wanna make a scrapbook of this blog. So since I slacked off at the end of the year, I need to wrap it up all in one post. (oh and I stopped doing photography... so I haven't been editing much, these pictures are straight from the camera.)

First off, at the end of October we drove to STG for a family reunion. We celebrated Halloween, went to Zions, and a few other things. Then we went to Vegas to visit my family for a few days. Since my sister's family was visiting as well, we celebrated an early Thanksgiving.

We were a family of 4 skeletons

Celebrating our early Thanksgiving

When we came home we got back into the swing of things. We celebrated Kenny's 30th birthday. Had a little different Thanksgiving, and then I went black friday shopping.

In December, the Little Princess lost a tooth (all on her own), then we decorated for the season. The kids carried on their tradition with their Daddy of building a gingerbread village. Both the kids had Christmas programs at school, and the Little Man was one of the Wise Man. He kept waving to us from the stage (when he wasn't peeking inside the present). One of our next adventures was driving into the wild and cutting a small Christmas tree for the kids' room.

missing something?

haha... we found him one night sleeping on our giant pile of clean clothes. Silly kid!

We were blessed to spend the last week of the year with Daddy (he used a few vacation days.) The last day of the year... we went to our friends house and celebrated the New Year with lots of yummy food, games, fire crackers, and some sparkling juice!

We had a great year. We were blessed with good health, a great job, lots of friends, fun vacations, supportive family, and many more blessings from the Lord. (of course there were trials throughout the year, but you can't expect less than that.)We can't wait for this next year to see what adventures it brings.
