We didn’t send out very many Christmas cards this year, but we did send some. We had this card printed at cardstore.com (they had a great sale Thanksgiving weekend!) and we included a short note. Here’s what it all looked like.
2011 has been a great year for the Thomas Family. Here are some of the highlights.
Paul took a trip to China as part of his MBA program then later graduated! He started a new hobby of geocaching and worked on staff at a Boy Scout Wood Badge course.
Jen found out on Christmas day that she was expecting another baby and gave birth to David in August. She became more of a foodie and cooking became more of a hobby and skill as she tried lots of new recipes for her freezer cooking and using her bountiful basket.
Aaron (7) learned to ride a bike without training wheels, ran a 5K and moved from 1st grade to 2nd grade. He loves math, loves to read, loves school and is growing up to be such a great kid.
Brian (5) got a bicycle for Christmas and learned to ride it without training wheels by April! The weekend before he started kindergarten he cut his foot really badly, but everything healed up nicely and was fine. He makes us laugh a lot and is a joy to have in our family.
Christian (2) went from a baby to a little boy, especially after David was born. He talks a lot more, loves anything with wheels, balls, socks or shoes. He is a very sweet little boy and makes us smile every day.
David (3 months) was born on August 29, 2011 at 9 lbs 2 oz. It was a rough delivery with an unexpected cesarean birth. He is a beautiful perfect baby who nurses great even though he already has 2 teeth!
During the summer we took our first road trip to Utah and had a great time spending time together as a family. We feel so blessed to be such good friends with each other and are proud to say “I’m glad you’re mine!”. We are looking forward to many more years of adventure as a family!
