2012 Year in Pictures

We've been a little preoccupied this year, but haven't forgotten how much you mean to us. So, finally, presenting this last year in pictures, collage style!!
Spring time brought cancer to the family - Nels' mom was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. But lots of family came to visit, including Heather and her family, and Mom's brother and their family. She subsequently got well enough to be on her own again for most of the rest of the year. Surprise!
Gregory and his two best friends, Kyli & Amanda graduated from high school in June - Congratulations!!
(The pic on the bottom left is him holding a picture of himself on his first day of school; yes, there's an extra kid in the pic - his little brother, Samuel.)


Dad & Mom got to both go to Girls' Camp this year, Mom as camp cook, Dad as priesthood  rep.
We had a blast taking family pictures in July - lots of them!! 
And we celebrated lots of birthdays - even Grandmother's, and she hadn't expected another!
(Note Jonathan's cake - not that pretty, but it represented the world, since his birthday was near the Mayan end of calendar, he planned for a year that he wanted to eat "the earth" before and after Dec 21st. Funny guy!)
Christmas 2012, we spent in the hospital with Grandmother (GM), and lots of family. We had great times together, as we always do! Family is the bomb! The middle pic is the goodie food package that GM had put together for our kids. Mmmm!

So Happy New Year!
Next year in pictures we expect we'll have a lot of missionary pictures to share, some older kids, more friends, and hopefully LOTS of family...after all, family is eternal!!
