Goodbye 2011

I can not say that I am too broken hearted to see the year end.  By see, I mean knowing that when I wake in the morning it will be a new year.  No staying up for this mommy. 

With that said here are a few things that happened this year:

- My girls are both officially in school.  Ava in Pre K and Katherine in Kindergarten.

- We cleared the house of the toddler cups.  You know, the ones with straws that pop up.  We also packed away the toddler forks and spoons.  I still can't part with them though.

- Ava is pretty well potty trained though we are still working on it.  She is a strong headed little girl and we are trying to get her to makes sure she pottys ALL the time for EVERYTHING. 

- I learned to whistle.  Yep, it took until I was 30 to learn how. 

- We took the girls to the movies for the first time this summer.  Katherine hates loud noises and we were worried she wouldn't do well in a theater.  She did great. So did Ava.  Katherine's first movie was Cars 2.  Ava was Smurfs which we all went to see on my 31st birthday. 

There are many things that have happened and continue to happen that are not good.  I just don't feel like seeing them in black in white.  Besides, who wants to read a blog with a bunch of sadness?

May 2012 hold much more of the good and skip the bad for us.

Frosty the Snowman




I remember seeing this playing at night when I was 5 years old. I just found these online this year and wish I could somehow record them.
I am so happy to be able to share these with my girls now and see them enjoy them as I have. Something about this video just makes me smile and puts me in that Christmas Spirit that seems to get dimmed as I grow older.

May you enjoy!
