2012 was a huge year for our family...I wanted to post a photo documentary of some of the highlights from our year, as an addition to the Christmas letter we sent out.  Enjoy!

I have loved every minute of being a new Higgins.  Here I am with my wonderful siblings-in-love (we did a photo shoot for Pat for Mothers Day)

Matt got a new car!!

TJ graduated from high school and started college as a Freshman at Millikin University

Here we are in the Sierra Nevada's just after being offered a position at Kern Valley High School.  What then seemed like a crazy dream is now our home

Nana and Gramps aren't the only ones who can't get enough of Asher David. 

We LOVE being an aunt and uncle.  

In July, my baby sister got married...

And I got a few more siblings!

Family vacation in Colorado just before Casey and I (and our respective husbands) moved west to our new jobs and homes. 

There are no words to express how much I love my family!

My time with my Grandparents this summer is even more precious since Grandpa's home going.

One of the first activities in our new homeland has been learning to windsurf.

Our hiking adventures at the Sequoia's "Trail of 100 Giants"

Sibling time during Thanksgiving break

Our sweet, sweet nephew is growing up!!

Our sweet friends, Jake and Maddie, who are wonderful people and awesome pumpkin carvers!

A beautiful shot of our new home

Much love to you and yours!  Have a great 2013!
