Merry Christmas 2011

christmas2011card

Merry Christmas!  For our 2011 Christmas card, we wanted to share some of the things we are most thankful for this year:

Zach (6) is thankful for…

“…my Kindergarten class because it keeps me dry from the rain and it has fun stuff to do—like math. Oh and there is yummy foods to eat at school.”

“…my cool soccer coach—my dad”

“… flag football—specially running through the big noodles”

“…learning how to ride a two wheel bike without training wheels. It’s funner, faster & not so loud!”

“…learning how to write my whole name and other really long words.”

Rachel (12) is thankful for…

“…dance and how easy it is to express myself through it.”

“… my friends: their great support, all the laughs, smiles, winks, & memories we’ve shared.”

“…food and how it keeps me going no matter what—just like a best friend should.”

“…my Kindle because it gets me up early every morning to read the scriptures.”

“…being 12--to experience things like the temple & adult menus at restaurants.”

Meghan (16) is thankful for…

“…Geometry—so I can prove that obviously congruent shapes are congruent.”

“…Theater because without it I would have WAAAAAAAAY too much free time.”

“…my Mackinac Island sweatshirt—despite being huge & not figure flattering.”

“…Les Miserables—without it I’d be forced to listen to ‘normal’ teenage music.”

“…Journalism because it’s my new favorite thing ever!”

Shae is thankful for…

“…a job that I enjoy going to every day.”

“…being Zach’s soccer coach for a 4th season.”

“…watching my girls develop their talents and share them on various stages.”

“…a wife that loves the Lord, loves me, and loves our kids.”

“…a burning testimony of the Savior and His gospel.”

Michelle is thankful for…

“…finding my bearings after having all my kids gone to school all day.”

“…a patient family because man, they have to put up with a lot from me!”

“…my mini-van that is constantly chauffeuring kids to their activities.”

“…the perspective that the Gospel of Jesus Christ brings into my life.”

We love you and hope your holiday season is filled with family, happiness and gratitude!
