I first want to start by thanking all of our friends and family who gave us Christmas cards. I love to get them and they are all on the fridge. Gabrie loves to go and look at all the pictures! One day maybe we'll send some, Luke has a "brilliant" idea for one ( : so someday. But for now I figured I could post ours on the blog! So..
I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! This past year has been filled with a lot of good accomplishments and blessings. Here is a highlight:
1. Gabriella learned to walk, crawl (in that order), sign, talk, do head stands, and a bunch of other things that keep her life busy, active, and fun!
2. Luke became the bread winner in our family for the first time by graduating from BYU and getting his first teaching job, which he likes (a plus!).
3. I completed my thesis and finished my masters degree from USU, which was the most difficult thing I have done besides being a brand new mom, and actually like speech language more than I ever thought I would ( I know it sounds so boring).
4. We bought a house and did our part to stimulate the economy.
5. We had a ton of additions to our families: a new brother in law- Wade, a niece- Samantha, and lots of nephews Benjamin, Parker, Max and the newest Ethan!
This year has been very busy but it's been wonderful and we have been so blessed and watched over. We are looking forward to the New Year and the changes it will bring.
Here are some pictures from the holidays!
Gabrie wanted to wear the stockings!
Gabrie loves to play in the snow or "no" as she calls it! She especially loves to eat it, thanks to Grandpa for teaching her. Luckily we have gotten a lot of snow for her to play in.
Grandpa and the Utah kids on Christmas Eve!
We had a visitor Christmas morning besides Santa! We opened the front door and there were these cute bird foot prints on our porch, I just thought I'd share the picture.
Gabrie enjoying one of her gifts. She got way too many. She was tired of opening presents so she went and ate breakfast while Luke and I opened ours.
