This year we decided we were too cheap for Christmas Cards were going green with our Christmas Cards. Sorry you won't be able to display the worlds best looking family in your home;-) But now you can click any time of year and here we will be.
If I could sum up the year in just one word it would be green, er just kidding, actually I would say delightful! From discovering a new town to discovering Hudson's personality and our dynamics as a family away from the mother family it all has been quite a delight!
TOGETHER:
We moved a state over, hiked most of Mt Sopris, Grizzly Creek, Red Hill, Red Mountain, discovered Redstone and Marble, camped in comfort in Moab, hiked to Delicate Arch and around Dead Horse Point. Played in Aspen and thrifted at every joint around. Made a few trips to Denver (the city is so much more fun when you don't live in it, minus traffic that's never fun), made a trip to Vernal. Will have our first Christmas as a family.
Hudson:
Progressed from drooling, scooting baby to running toddler. First words. Friends. Helper of Mom. Balanced at being both a jokester and a sweetie. Loved his Monkey and his Milkys. Likes going to bed most of the time. Loves life 100% of the time, nap or not. Started nursery illegally at 17 months, shhh! Loves his cousins, loves everyone. Loves playing ball and with cars and trains. Is always into something new. Is a favorite with everyone. Mastered the art of flirting. Shimmies and shakes like it's never been done before.
Liz:
Made new friends, missed her old ones. Ran first trail Ultra race, Desert Rats (25 miles), ran for Angelman Syndrome, Mountain to Valley 10 miler, the Golden Leaf Half and the first Ragnar Colorado, got first in her division for the 1/2 marathon through her favorite Glenwood Canyon. Returned to trail running. Has an 8/min mile for distance down, next year 7? Ran Hudson everywhere in the B.O.B. Attempted to become less offensive and mostly failed. Working on being less selfish. First time to Seattle. Roasted first chicken and turkey, and baked first ham. Honed her cooking skills. Taught the 7-8 year olds at church and now hangs out with and occasionally teaches the young women at church.
TJ:
Graduated from the University of Utah!!! Cleaned Chevy Chase's House one day, worked at Lowe's part time and roofed part time, than finally the glorious and much anticipated day of driving for UPS came. Rediscovered his singing voice. Working on the guitar. Makes Hudson laugh like no one else. Teaches the 5-6 year olds at church and helps with the boy scouts and the missionaries. Enjoys Liz's cooking. Worked harder than any man ever did!
Here's to the best year yet 2012!
We hope you have a wonderful Christmas celebrating the birth of the Saviour of the World and that 2013 is even better!
