Our Christmas Card and Letter 2011

This is what we did for our Christmas Card this year. I thought it turned out so cute! Thanks to a great friend who took awesome pictures and 2 sisters who put the card together :) We wanted our letter to let everyone know how thankful we are for all the many blessing that were showered upon us this year! We are better people because of all of you and we are eternally grateful! We are looking forward to the new year and can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for our family! Happy new year everyone!!

Our year started out with a tragedy. Loosing our house in the fire was one of the hardest things we have ever experienced, but knowing that everything that mattered most was standing outside, was the greatest blessing. Material things did not matter at that point, the only thing that did was each other. We continued to be blessed by family, friends, and complete strangers. We saw the compassion and good hearts of so many people. We know we can never repay everyone that helped us, but we are going to pay it forward and help others. We saw how our relationships with others are the most important. As the holiday season approaches, we can't help but feel so blessed! We truly believe that things happen for a reason. The Lord has a plan and we have to have faith that things will work out. Through faith, family, friends, and the gospel, we have been so blessed! We would like to thank you for all the prayers, love, and support to help us get back on our feet. We couldn't have done it with out you! We love you all! May this season bring you all Joy and Happiness!!!
Love, The Seelys
We had the kids all draw a picture. We just told them to draw something that reminds them of Christmas and this is what they came up with.....
