Oh what fun this year has been........we have so much to be thankful for. Seven beautiful, healthy children. A good marriage. A good career. A beautiful home. Parents who are healthy and supportive. Wonderful siblings. Our testimonies. Safety and peace in our community. Good friends. We have so much to look forward to. We celebrated Chinese New Year on New Years Eve this year, it seemed fitting since so much of our lives have encompassed China this year. We are so grateful for all that we have, we hope to be able to give back to so many more and to share all of our blessings. Happy 2012. What a fun, productive year this last one has been!

Fun times for Christmas. I thought you were slowing down a little this year (wink wink). Not so. I'm happy that your family had a great first year celebrating with Eisley.
