After Christmas Blues

In my case it is "kids are back in school" blues. This happens to me after summer break also. I love what I do as a mother and I would not have my life any other way. Except I would change the location of where we live plus our next home has to have carpet. Otherwise its good.

New Traditions

We decided we would create our own food traditions...

For Chirstmas day we will have grilled burgers with the works.
For New Years Eve we will now eat hotwings.

We like our new traditions because they are OURS. : )

Things We Did the First Day of 2011

*went to Braum's for a " job well done" ice cream
*hung out with the missionaries who just happened to be there also
*oh and, Emily lost a tooth

A New Year

We decided to take a family Christmas photo on New Years Eve.

Happy 2011!!

Do not throw out the old year.
 Remember the past year where memories were made.
 I have had sorrow mingled with joy.
Would I have had it any other way?

At times, but I would not be who I am today. (me)
