I think to myself...

what a WONDERFUL life!


I hope everyone had a a wonderful Christmas making lasting memories with those you love. We had a wonderful and most magical Christmas. The kids had a blast and were so fun to watch. Their excitement was contagious and I love seeing the holidays through their eyes! Such a wonderful gift....


Our break was fairly quiet. We didn't really even leave the house (aside from a few excursions we were home bound for nearly 11 days.... HEAVEN)! I had a shopping day with a girlfriend (OMG bought the best boots and jeans EVER), the kids and I hit up a local bounce house (MOB scene), and Jason took the minis to a train museum (Anthony's most favorite holiday tradition).


Unfortunately, Jason and I ended up SICK! New Years Eve I was in urgent care due to some major sinus issues... Holy cow the pressure. My one eye was swollen shut, bright red, and SO sore. My vain self refused to remove my HUGE sunglasses until I was in the patient room and the doc's eyes about popped out of his head as he  asked "Did someone punch you in the face??!!" (Jason's lucky he is on my good side because I could have spun one wild tale and he would have been looking at some trouble haha) Yeah, it was bad, but 24 hours with a Zpack and life resumed :) Fortunately, the minis were so content and happy for jammy days, movie watching, and massive toy playing...


We (yes, I even helped this time!!)  did manage to start working on our kitchen cabinets... 11 are complete, so only 30 to go (what a JOB)... More info / pics will come later, but for now think beautiful black, bead board, crown, and  a new and improved white island... It will be BEAUTIFUL (at least I hope) once its all done... The stainless steel appliance shopping has begun and my counter top fund has started... Patience will be key in this process...


Even though I was sick, my birthday was great :) My family and friends all spoiled me and it was just a great day... Again, QUIET, but GREAT! The only thing that would make it better is if I was turning 30 instead of 34 haha!


I hate that the holidays are over, that Jason's went back to work today (his company shuts down between Christmas and New Year's), and that the kids are back in school.. Such is life, but on the positive, it will be nice to get back into the good old routine of things...


I hope 2012 brings all of you wonderful opportunities, happiness, and most importantly love! Happy New Year!
