Some of you...

.. have already seen this.

And some of you have not.

I'm sorry I couldn't send a card out to every last one of you this year, but the Post Office raised the price of stamps by 2 cents (again) and I was forced to boycott.

So blame them.

But for those of you who we love dearly (but not 2 cents worth), here's our family Christmas card.
We hope it's everything you dreamed it would be.


Dear Friends and Family,
Merry Christmas! At this wondrous time of year, we realize more than ever how truly blessed we are with the amazing family members and close friends we have been given. We are grateful for our relationships with each of you and wish you all the best this holiday season and in the upcoming year.

Here's what our little family has been up to lately...

Luke

Is in his second year of Medical School at DMU and is doing amazingly well. He still finds a little bit of time to spend at home, which his wife thoroughly appreciates. When he's not studying, you'll usually find him with his nose in a book about political phylosophy...(can we say BORING! ?!).

Ashley

Is busy being a mom and running around with her two crazy girls in tow. When she's not driving, cooking, sewing, taking pictures, waitressing, scrapbooking, working out, or reading you'll usually find her blogging all about the family's ridiculous escapades and random adventures at lukeandashley.blogspot.com

Brooklyn

Is enjoying Preschool and loves being a big sister. She is the family's fashion designer, movie critic, make-up artist, cookie maker, freelance painter, and resident nurse. She loves playing with Aubrey and giggling out of control. She is a joy to have in our family and is loved and adored by everyone she meets.

Aubrey

Has 2 speeds: on and off. Aubrey is our avid reader and supreme lover of dolls, bears, and dogs. She recently celebrated her second birthday and is usually found doing whatever her mom is doing, which is just fine. She is a spunky, energetic and caring child who makes our lives meaningful every single day.

Merry Christmas.

We love you all.
