I didn't get all the Christmas cards out this year, and I didn't keep up with the blog like I need to! So here's my Christmas letter and some photos. 
2011 was a great year for the Hendricks 6. We started the year by putting our house in Tulsa back on the market to sell and get moved to Sand Springs. Finally, after many months of cleaning and figuring out what to do while the house was showing, it sold and we are happily settled in Sand Springs.
Our first day here in Sand Springs Jonathan accepted an offer from SpiritBank (the bank he was at for 6 years before) as the Senior Vice President and Location Leader for the Sapulpa
branches. He is very happy in his new role at the bank.

I stay busy running the older kids around while trying to keep up with Jillian. I’m really enjoying the kids being able to walk to and from school and also the feel of a small town again. Jonathan and I will celebrate our 13th anniversary together January 2 and are excited to take a
break from the kids for a few days and reflect on the past 15 years of our
lives together and plan for the year ahead. I love this picture of us, I love that we can laugh together and just be silly.

Jacksen will turn 12 on January 1st and is growing so much in confidence and independence! He is in middle school now and plays the trumpet for the middle school band. He
has also found a love for soccer and it seems to be his favorite sport. He is currently playing basketball until spring soccer starts, and trying to keep from getting his cell phone taken away:)

Jennah, our little drama queen, is proving to be just that! She performed one of the major roles in our church’s annual summer musical and just finished up performing in the Sand Springs Community Theater’s Christmas program. She also takes guitar lessons and enjoys that. She will turn 10 January 13th and is in the 4th grade.
Joel is 6 and is in Kindergarten this year. He is taller than anyone in his class. Jonathan asked
him after the 1st day of school if he made any friends and he told him that everyone wants to be friends with the tallest kid in class:) He is quite competitive and loves playing soccer. He is currently playing indoor soccer by request of one of the coaches from another team of fall soccer.

Jillian is 18 months old now and is a little wild one! I think we have another Jennah on our hands. She loves her brothers and sister and thinks she’s as big as they are. One of her favorite things to do is play dress up with Jennah and dance.
Our lives are full and every day is exciting and holds something new for us to learn or experience. We are trying our best to enjoy every moment and treasure this time because we know it won’t be long before the kids are all grown up. God has blessed us beyond what we could have imagined for our family and our goal is to raise these children to be soul winners for His Kingdom, because after all they are His.
