2011 Highlights

A friend of mine had this on her blog, and I thought it was a cute way to sum up the year for us.  Maybe next year I'll even get around to printing it out with our Christmas cards!

2011

Emilyn

Favorite Things:  Animals, blankets-Fly and Pink Polka-dot, playing with friends, Lion King, Tangled, and all three Toy Stories, snuggling, trampoline, swimming, princesses, yogurt, following big sister, music (always asking us to put on a song, and turn it up!), treats, and dancing

Least Favorite Things:  Being told "no", having to sit still, tall grasses and crunchy leaves (she thinks snakes are hiding inside)

2011 Highlights:  Going to Disneyland (she asks almost daily to go again still), church nursery with Mommy, counting to 13, special time with Mommy when Matisyn was at school, building towers with Daddy, visiting grandmas

Hopes for 2012:  Start preschool, go in the big girl potty, get bigger so she can "dance, go to school, ride the bus, and get a phone"


Matisyn

Favorite Things:  Singing and dancing, dirt stew, visiting family and friends in California, tacos, kitties, reading, primary, i-pad, cousins, playing with friends, pink, Zoobles, barbies, treats, McDonalds, Scooby Doo, solving mysteries, shows, hiking, and swimming

Least Favorite Things:  Being cold and being quiet

2011 Highlights:  Learning to ride a two-wheeler bike, camping, catching crawdads with Dad, two dance recitals, starting Kindergarten, trip to Disneyland, spending a week with Grandma Karen when Mom and Dad were in Hawaii, preschool graduation, and learning to read

Hopes for 2012:  Take gymnastics, eat lunch at school, and lose a tooth so the tooth fairy can come


Kristin

Favorite Things:  Traveling, girl nights out, watching my little girls get along, chocolate, organizing, snuggling with my girls, reading, DVR, pictures, friends and family

Least Favorite Things:  Matt's new motorcycle, chaos and messes, dirty laundry

2011 Highlights:  Starting meal exchange with friends, vacations (Hawaii with Matt for our 10th anniversary, California to see family and friends, 1st camping trip with my family to Zion, trip to St George with friends, Disneyland with friends), finally losing baby weight, hearing all positive reports from Matisyn's Kindergarten teacher, organizing all the closets in the house, watching Matisyn learn to read and Emilyn's vocabulary grow so fast

Hopes for 2012:  Learning to appreciate the chaos, remodel the kitchen, more date nights out with Matt, and most importantly, health and happiness for my family and friends


Matt

Favorite Things:  His girls, putting around on his new motorcycle (dirt bike), Dr. Pepper, sushi, reading, sleep (when he can get it!), camping and being outdoors

Least Favorite:  Working instead of playing (curse growing up!), getting older and it's side effects!, Dad's bad liver

2011 Highlights:  Hawaii, Zion both with family and trip with Scouts, getting wife to give in on motorcycle, starting own vinyl business (Bliss Signs with brother Mike), teaching Matisyn to ride a bike without training wheels

Hopes for 2012:  Backpacking trip, participate in triathlon and get in shape, healthy liver for Dad
