Why do we say 2011 is our big year? We've never before gained two family members in one year -- a son and a son-in-law. Or, depending on your point of view, our family shrank, as Lindy got married and Quinn graduated and went off to BYU. We also had a big year in church service, as Paul was called as a counselor in our bishopric, and Jeni served as Stake Young Women president before being released in August. And it's been a big year for Luke and Seth, as they both got very big: Luke grew almost a foot straight up (though no wider) and Seth grew from a few ounces in January to over 20 pounds -- at six months he's in the ninetieth percentile for height and weight. Adrianne has had a big year in her role as big sister to Quinn, which has meant advisor in all-things BYU.
We hope you enjoy the slide show (below), and we wish all our loved ones far and near a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!
