Family Picture Time

I really wanted to get Christmas cards sent out this year (for the first time since we have been married). So a local photographer was having a special on mini sessions and I booked us a slot for some pictures. 

I also snapped a few pictures after our session

And our Christmas card and letter for 2012!

ALIVIA turned 3 in September and is such a light in our lives. She adores her big brother and sister and can’t wait to help with her new BABY BROTHER in March. She loves to play with her toy kitchen, throw pretend birthday parties, and pamper her baby dolls. She started ballet and loves to dance and sing around the house. Her favorite trip this year was Germany and seeing Santa at Disneyland Paris.

ANDREW will be 6 next month and is such a good boy. He has a heart of gold! He started Year 1 (kindergarten) at the British school and is a little whipper snapper. He is a great reader and loves math. One of my favorite parts about him is how he loves life. He wakes up with a smile on his face almost every morning. His favorite trip this year was spent on the beaches of Spain.

AVERY is almost 8 going on 18. She loves to wear make up and high heels and says that her “thing” is fashion.  She started year 3 at the British school (2^nd grade) and is doing great! In her free time she loves to play school and wants to be a teacher when she grows up. She also enjoys ballet, soccer, art, and piano. Her favorite trip this year was Disneyland Paris and visiting Shakespeare’s hometown.

Andy and I are adjusting to life in England and enjoying travelling with the family. Every day we are more enamored with and grateful for our 3 (almost 4) children and the Joy they bring us. We are so grateful for this special season to reflect on our dear Savior and His love and mercy. It truly is a wonderful life we all have been blessed with. We wish you all a MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

With love, Andy, Lauren, Avery, Drew, and Livi
