Year 12- 2024

This year, they celebrated Tobin's very first birthday. Addison and Steven turned eleven over the summer and they took a trip down to California and spent a whole week on the beach. Sam and Freddie also celebrated significant birthday, the big 3-0! Steven has recently gotten involved in his school's Tech Club and Addison joined the cheerleading squad. She loves it so much that she also somehow managed to con her parents into letting her take dance and gymnastic lessons. She seems exceptionally good at it, Addison has become their little 'high flier!' Steven seems to have the magic touch when it comes to technology just like his father. He loves to spend hours in the school tech lab just fiddling around with the computers and then every day when Freddie gets home from work, Steven demands that he come see his latest work. Currently he's working on a stop-motion film with the help of both, his Uncle Spencer and Freddie. So everyone is on the up and up! Merry Christmas!
