And a Very Merry Christmas to You

My delightful friend Amy designed these for us.  She is unbelievable when it comes to . . . well, pretty much anything she puts her hand to.  Anyway, I ran out of time a little bit and just had to give myself permission to not send Christmas cards this year.  I have them printed, though.  They are sitting on my kitchen counter.

So . . . maybe you'll see a New Year's card from us in a week or two.  Or perhaps even a Valentine's Day Card?  Who knows?  It'll be a surprise for everyone involved.  Just know that we had a lot of experiences this year, the kids are all alive and well, I survived another pregnancy and baby, Zach worked and worked, and that we love you all.  And I'll definitely get to a top ten for 2011--if I get around to it:-)

I would feel ungrateful if I didn't take a minute to recognize and thank all those around me for the service we received throughout the year during our bed rest, NICU, newborn, moving, broken bones, and surgery experiences.  President  Spencer W. Kimball said, “God does notice us, and he watches over us. But it is usually through another person that he meets our needs.”  This, my friends, is sooooo true.

I have had a few experiences this past year that have solidified my knowledge that our Heavenly Father is very aware of each of us and our circumstances.  He loves me and He loves you.  He sent His Son for our benefit. Of this I am sure.  Merry Christmas!

Annnnnnd this is as close as we got for a family picture this year.
