Christmas Card 2011


Merry Christmas
Another year has come and gone here is what has been up with the Olsen fam!

Phil-is still working for Harmons as the manager of their Orem pharmacy. This year he rode for Harmons in the MS150 bike ride. He rode 90 miles cold turkey, ouch! He still serves as a ward clerk.
Alesha-  is still loving being home with the kiddos. She had two girls trips to Scrapaway, where they scrapbooked and crafted late into the night. Zumba at the gym has become a new favorite along with running again after baby P was born.
Together we had the best time cruising the Caribbean with some of Phil’s family! Our favorite stop was Jamaica where we swam with the dolphins and hiked a 600 ft waterfall!
Koen- became a preschool graduate this year and moved on to kindergarten. He is 5 1/2, learning to read and liking school, all though he would much rather be riding his 4-weeler. He loves Transformers, Power Rangers and any and all superheroes! He liked playing t-ball this year and likes bowling.
Brigs- is 2 1/2 and as wild as they come. Our favorite word for him is intense. He is go go go and has a mind of his own. He loves the Wii and is actually pretty good at it. He loves chocolate milk and treats and sometimes that seems to be all he eats. He is really talking these days and the things that come out of his mouth are too cute.
Pierce- was welcomed into the world on May 25th. He was lifeflighted to Primary Childrens where he fought for his little life for 7 weeks. On July 12th he passed away. We love little Pierce so much and wish he could be a part of our family here on Earth. There is peace in knowing that because of our Savior our hearts can be healed and we can be with our little angel again.

We are so grateful for all of our blessings. We are grateful to reflect on the birth of our Savior. We are thankful for our knowledge of Him. We hope you have a great Holiday season! Love, the Olsen family

PS Dont worry I wished everyone "Faith Love and Hope" in the new year because that is what I wish myself. :)
