So we have ended 2011 and we welcome 2012 with Open Arms!!! Happy New Year to everyone.
We are doing well, we got through the holiday season and had a wonderful time. We spent Thanksgiving with Brian's family and had a wonderful time in West Point. Lots of things to be Thankful for, like good family and good friends. :)
In the begining of December Nate and Kelly came up from Ohio to visit. We didn't get to spend as much time together as I wanted but I did get to see them and have lunch with them and her family. It was nice to meet her mom, and sister they are such sweet people. I loved being able to see my brother and Kelly. Our family is getting so BIG!!! Nate and Kelly are having a little girl in February and I can't wait to "meet" little Natalie Anne. Thankfully technology is wonderful and I will be able to meet her over skype beings I won't be able to make it to Ohio. :) I can't wait, and I know neither can they.
Christmas was a 2 parter. We spent Christmas Eve at home as a family and junked out on food and Christmas movies lol. Christmas morning was wonderful at home with the kiddos being super excited and had a blast opening all of their presents. Christmas afternoon was spent with my family. Dad, Mom, Aubrey, Haleigh, Aaram, and of course us. Unfortunantly Sheena's family got hit with the flu and weren't able to make it, and my older brother Chris stayed in Texas with his family. The kids had a blast at Grandpa and Grandma's!! Taylor thought it was awesome that we had "Christmas Potatos" aka "funeral" potatos. Of course we couldn't call them funeral potatos on Christmas day lol. Thankfully we had wonderful weather through out all of the holidays, no snow and wonderfully warm weather :)
Christmas part 2 was spent in West Point New Year's weekend. We went up to Brian's family on New Year's Eve day, and had their big family Christmas that weekend. Both of Brian's uncle's that live out of state were able to be there, it was so wonderful to see all of them. That night all the girl cousins went out and we watched Twilight Breaking Dawn part 1. It was a lot of fun to hang out with the girls and just chill. Brian got to take all the kiddos swimming that night at the hotel lol. We had a lot of fun that weekend, and had a very enjoyable time. I am so thankful that we have such a big family and were able to spend time with all of them. :)
Now that Christmas break is over, the kiddos are back to school. They are excited for this semester. Taylor is going to be able to grow chickens in his class room, he also gets to go to Morrill Hall this spring and learn all about dinosaurs. He is so excited lol.
Sarah is excited becuase she is in a Math group that meets 2 times a week during class. I talked to her teacher about this math group and apprently they are trying to get Sarah prepared to take the diff test for both Math and Reading!! We are so proud of her with her academic achievements. :)
Well hopefully this year I will be better at blogging and hopefully get atleast one post out a month. I am hoping once a week, but once a month would be great lol.
