This year was a pretty good one for the Gabbitas family! We were able to go to St. George for Seth’s birthday in February and again in September. We saw the new St. George temple and got to visit life flight. In June we went to universal Orlando over Taiydens birthday. Then Andrea and the kids went to Tennessee we saw the grand ole opry, Graceland and an aunt and uncle we haven’t seen in far too long. Then they drove on to Texas for Andrea’s step mom’s family reunion, where we got see our family and meet so many more. Andrea’s dad came over Halloween and that was fun! Seth and Andrea saw blue October in concert and blindlove opened for them which was amazing. They also saw hollow hill in concert this year. 311 decided they didn’t like Utah and didn’t come this year (sad face). We were able to go do the Halloween lift ride at Sundance and that was a lot of fun! Seth and Andrea got to see Hamilton and Jeff Arcuri at the Eccles theater this year. Andrea’s mom and brother joined them for thanksgiving and it was a lot of fun! But all in all it was a great year!
Taiyden: Taiyden graduated from elementary school this year ending his last year with all A’s. He took 2nd place in his robotics competition at the end of 6th grade. And he started jr high where he’s continuing his streak of A’s. He turned 12, had the same shoe size as mom for about 6 months and then decided to have bigger feet than her. After our Orlando/Texas trip taiyden drove home with gramps and yaya, he also acquired 2 accordions on this trip. We were in Orlando over his birthday so we did a small birthday party later, he took 2 friends to see twisters and have pizza. He still plays trumpet and got to start with 8th grade class in jr high since he’d done 2 years in elementary. He’s also still taking piano and loving it. We’re so amazed by how he’s growing up. He’s Turing into quite the amazing young man.
Amberlyn: Amberlyn finished 3rd grade and started 4th. She continues to love art. She did a book report in 3rd grade where she had to dress up like the main character and she did the whole costume herself. And mom was able to go a field trip to the planetarium with her. She did the girls on the run program at school this year which ended in them running a 5k. We’re so proud of her for her trying new things and stepping out of her comfort zone. She got a permanent bracelet when we went to St. George in September, she’s loving all the girly things lately. She made a paper tree in her room this year that is pretty cool! We love how creative and talented she is!
Seth: Seth was promoted to a service manager at Les Olson this year. Which means he works in office now instead of driving all over the place. He’s amazing and wonderful! We’re so grateful for how hard he works for our family!
Andrea: Andrea went to Disneyland with her friend Eryn in October and had a blast. She’s still working at the school doing recess and loving it.
Merry Christmas! Love the Gabbitas Family
