Everybody’s fed and comfortable and the hats and noisemakers are ready. This year has been a rollercoaster at moments, but I’m so thankful for the joy provided by the hills and the lessons learned in the midst of  the valleys. I’m so thankful to see all of my family and friends growing and learning and becoming more of the wonderful people they are. Thanks to all of you great people who have joined me this past year. I look forward to seeing you in 2012!
