2011 was a very good year for our family!
Alex moved in and promptly moved out as she and Brock made their way cross country to begin their life together in Seattle. The twins had a great school year with straight A's and have entered their last year of middle school... High school's just around the corner! We spent lots of time with family and friends and got to enjoy a wonderful family vacation (with the Bishop's) in Mexico. We also celebrated Jason's 40th birthday in Vegas (what happens in Vegas, gets posted on Facebook!).
Rob and his partner continue to grow their business with more than 20 employees to-date, while Kelli took (another) hiatus from work and has gone back to school - starting with Algebra - YUCK! The plan is to eventually earn a Masters in Public Policy. VJ continues to do well and is still going to school and living with his Dad. Andrea is doing very well also!
Alex's room wasn't empty for long as we welcomed a foreign-exchange student (from Germany). She is bright & beautiful, as well as sassy, trendy and full of life! Her name is Elisa (E-lee-za). She is 16 yrs. old and will be with us for the entire school year. She fits in with our family quite well. She is great with the girls and like all of us, she loves to give Rob a run for his money!
We've enjoyed many blessings and continue to be thankful for our family and many, many wonderful friends. I only wish I had enough time, space and words to capture all the wonderful events this year has brought our way. The following are just a handful of our recent holiday photos.
I'll end this message by wishing everyone a happy holiday season and good health and happiness for the coming year!! Please check back often as we'll attempt to update the Blog weekly!
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
The Nelson's
