Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the BAP Family!

Hi everyone--

The following couple of posts feature news from our year, borrowed heavily from our annual Christmas newsletter. We cut down a bit on our mailing this year because so many people now follow our family on Facebook so we thought that we'd share an adapted version of the newsletter here as we wind down 2011 and gear up for 2012!

We hope that all is well with you!! This year has been an incredible blur—filled with travels, transitions, and blessings. After reflection, we realized that a member of our family spent at least one night in a hotel during every month of the year, except for January! We were blessed to be able to take two big family trips this year. In June, we traveled to Colorado and Nebraska, visiting Rocky Mountain National Park, Grandma A. in Scottsbluff, and family in Denver. In November, we went back to Disney for a week around Thanksgiving. Both trips were awesome times of fun, play, and relaxation, but, boy, did we have to play catch up upon our returns! Here are some highlights of our lives on the go in 2011!
