1- Semesters
left until Zach finishes his MBA at BYU. He graduates in April 2013
and we couldn’t be more proud of him!
2- Brady’s
favorite age so far. He has been the most cheerful 2 year old. He is
a delight to be around and makes us laugh every day! He loves to do whatever
Ryan is doing and likes to boss around the family dog, Roxy.
3-
Months left until baby BOY #3 makes
his debut. Brooke has enjoyed endured an uncomplicated
pregnancy so far. Nine months seems to feel longer with each baby. We can’t
wait to meet him in the beginning of March!
4-
Ryan’s age this year. He
is definitely our “big boy”- there is no toddler left! He is enjoying a new
level of independence and loves to test boundaries (What fun!) He comes up with
the funniest things to say and definitely keeps us on our toes!
5-
Months until Zach starts his new job
as a Real Estate Strategist at Adobe’s new office in Lehi, Utah. We
feel very blessed at this opportunity and are excited to see what the future
holds!
6-
# of cousins Ryan and Brady will
have by the end of 2013. We have sisters in law due in April and
May. Bring on the babies!
7-
Years of marriage Brooke and Zach celebrated in October. Time flies!
8-
The number of times a week Brooke and
Brady drive to the BYU preschool to either pick up or drop off Ryan.
He has been doing preschool 4 times a week since September and is loving it!
He’s learning a lot and making lots of new friends.
9-
The number of weeks old baby
Bellows will be when we take a trip to NC for Beach Week in May 2013. Wish us luck!
10- The
number of times I have gone back and forth between whether or not to send
Christmas cards this year. With Facebook and blogs are these things
obsolete? And do I really want to distribute a picture of me 6+ months pregnant
to family and friends? Clearly, I trust you with such unflattering photographic
evidence. Your discretion with said photo is appreciated.
11- Number
of people around our table on Christmas Eve this year. Brooke’s
little sister, Lindsey, got married on December 20th so we get to
enjoy the Baileys for Christmas! It has been great not to have to travel this
year. We love having a full house and seeing family during the holidays! What a
blessing!
12- Weeks
spent in Bentonville, Arkansas this summer while Zach interned at Walmart
Corporate Headquarters. We had a fabulous summer filled with library
story times, exercise classes, fishing and even a visit from Brooke’s mom. We
met some really great people and will always remember our “Arkansas Summer”
fondly.
We hope you had a great 2012! May
the love of the Savior bless your home this Christmas season and throughout the
New Year!

So what was it like to host Christmas?! I got to a little bit. Christmas Eve and the afternoon/evening of Christmas we were at my in-laws, but they came to MY house for Christmas morning. Jeff made homemade cinnamon rolls from scratch (delicious!), and I made that sausage egg bread breakfast casserole that Pam made last year when we were with you for New Years.
What a fun way to remember this Christmas/past year. Merry Christmas!
LOVE this! You are so creative! And witty! :) And I love your family picture, by the way. You look great, and I love your boots! We're excited to get together with you guys again, now that all the craziness of the holidays/wedding is over. :)
