HAPPY NEW YEAR!

So I didn't get our annual Christmas blog posted for last year, but it was not because I didn't have time.  We finished Christmas shopping and wrapping a couple days early, but I just took a moment to enjoy my family and the days that followed.
It seemed to me, that out of the handful of Christmas cards we received from family and friends (thanks, guys) it was so inspiring to read that several families included in their list of achievements: the chance to relax in their PJ's more.  It's great to attend cool places, and do fun things, but I think the most meaningful accomplishment, is to make the moments matter.

So without further adieu, I did want to share what is has been like in our home the past year:

Royal
Still working with the kids at his youth school, started back with online school (and is rockin' it!), released as EQP and received his beloved calling in the "Man-Nursery", still my hunky hubby


Da'nelle
Loving staying at home with the kiddos, put in as Young Women president, lost all existing free time, did a 5K Foam Run (exhilarating!),  learning to live with a messy house (sorry, couldn't find a pic of me without kids)


Lucy
Loves to learn, loves books, loves her friends, and is taking on the older sister role.  Also learning who she is as a  little person, just started Primary and loves PB&J and making forts with her dad

Grant
Can you say boy? Throws everything, jumps off. . everything, kicks. . everything.  but he is still mommy's little boyfriend, so adorable and cute.  Mimics everything his sister says and does.







And come July, you will get to see this little person:





Hope all is well for your family-- let me know how it is going for you!

Love you and miss you!
