2011, what a year (click the picture to enlarge)– these aren’t in chronological order (left to right: Caleb Feb. 12th, Alex smiling, Caleb and Mom, Crocketts with the You family in Salt Lake City, On the Beach at Aunt Judy’s in California, Adele goes to SchoolJ, Christmas 2011, Barnum & Bailey Circus) There was a lot more that took place as wellJ We love you all, and we are grateful for this season wherein we celebrate the Birth of Jesus Christ, and remember the love we have for one another.

Super-quick rundown

Ben: Graduated with his MBA from Purdue.  We all took a family vacation across the country before settling down in Indiana.  Bought a house.  Now works for The Dow Chemical Company in their Agrosciences division. 
Allison: Had a baby and is working on managing a household of five.  Feel free to send us any advice.  At least her kids are cute.
Adele (5.5): Started school, had her first dance recital.  Adjusting well to Kindergarten, and is all set to marry a kid named Tanner.
Alex (4): Hangs out with mom, loves storytime and digging in his “working spot” (aka dirt hole), and has some great one-liners.
Caleb (10 mos): Was supposed to be a girl, and surprised us all.  Best surprise we ever had!  Crawls around munching on board books and stray goldfish crackers.  Lives the good life, roaming free, home on the range.
We love you all!  Merry Christmas!  The Crocketts
