We went to the Zoo at dark and saw all the pretty Christmas lights
We went on a really awesome train ride to the North Pole
Santa came and gave us cars and a motorcycle

It was such a wonderful year and we've learned so much. We've overcome many things and met a lot of goals and milestones. Mommy and Daddy are really proud of us and we always overhear them bragging to anyone that will listen about something new we are doing or saying. We still love Elmo, Cookie Monster, and Abby Cadabby but we really, really, really love Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse and hope Mommy and Daddy will take us to Disney soon. Going to school is the best! We've learned so many things. We are always so excited to walk into our class room. Sometimes we're so excited we forget to tell Mommy and Daddy goodbye but we are so excited to see them when they pick us up in the afternoon. And we have to have our daily routine when Daddy leaves for work and if we can't watch him back out of the drive way and blow him kisses and wave goodbye, Mommy will have a real tough time on her hands. We really love our Daddy. He is our protecter and sometimes Mommy says he protects us a little too much but Mommy only wants the best for us. We are really excited about the new year. Mommy keeps saying it's going to be great! We hope you all come along for the ride, we promise to keep doing things Mommy and Daddy can brag about!!! 

Love, 
Brody, Gracie, and Madilynn
