We didn't get a family photo taken this year (believe me, we tried, but after making 3 attempts we decided to give up and try again next year). We didn't get a Christmas letter written either, so here's a look back at the year through the "eyes" of our blog:
In February, we took a family vacation up to Pinetop, AZ and the kids skiing for the first time. Emma and Bennett especially loved it!
In February I got to take my first sisters' weekend EVER -- well, since being married. It was a definite highlight!
In May the kids all finished up another school year (and preschool for Sarah). They all are wonderful students and continue to learn and grow.
Emma has discovered VOLLEYBALL - she loves it and was even able to attend the summer volleyball camp at the University of Arizona.
Bennett discovered KARATE this year - he loves it and has worked up to green belt. In two more days he gets to try his hand at board breaking!
Briant and Sarah took swim lessons all summer - they did a great job!
In July, we welcomed back Nana and D from their 3 year mission to Little Rock, Arkansas -- we're so thankful for their service and example to our family!
We were able to travel to Utah this summer for a DREWES family reunion -- lots of fun with cousins and aunts and uncles. We're so thankful to know that families are forever!
Next month Dave will complete his 2nd year as bishop. He is amazing -- he continues to juggle SO many responsibilities and still be a great father and husband!
We all agree that the biggest highlight of 2011 was the birth of Chloe in October! She is a sweet, fun baby and we all adore her! She has been a real blessing to our family already!
