So much for that goal

Well one of my goals for the new year was to give this blog a little more attention. Yea, not happening. But we are early into the year so I am gonna start all over on that one OK? I never finished posting about Christmas so I'm gonna just throw up several pictures to finish it up. No captions, just pictures so if you want to know more just ask me.

Christmas Eve night

Yes I realize that I am probably the only one still posting on Christmas but as usual it's busy around here and I get it done when I get it done. After I put these pictures on here I also realized just how tired we all look. It was a long, fun day and those kind tend to wear us out.
W.B. and his new Superman pj's. For some reason he really liked them and kept telling everyone about them. Next year I'll have to look for Batman or Spider man ;)

A#1 and his new pj's. He has told me that he would rather have shorts instead of pj pants so that's what I got him, with a really cool gingerbread man shirt. Well wouldn't you know it, he wished he would've gotten pants. He told me that!!! Can you believe it? He really is a man now ;)

The girls got matching polar bear pj's.

I think they liked them.

And me, I got some really cute snowflake pj's. They are soooo cozy!

A#1,2 & 3 all snug in their jammies ready for our story and Santa!!

This year was so great because A#2 asked if she could read the whole entire story herself. She did a fantastic job!!

Wow are we ready for bedtime!!!

Of course we left cookies and milk and carrots for the reindeer. The kids also went outside and sprinkled the sparkly reindeer food so they could surely find their way.

Out with the old.... In with the new

I can't even believe it's 2010!! Can you? It's crazy just how fast time passes by! We have lots of goals for the new year. Personally, I'm not crazy about the word resolution, it just sounds old. One of my goals for this new year is to continue to be healthier. Watching what I put in my body, watching how I exercise my body and concentrating on what I surround myself with, especially people. What and who I surround myself with has a great deal of impact on my health and my stress. A lesson I have come to learn over these past couple of years.

2009 was not a bad year but at times it was a hard year. A year full of milestones for our whole family. A year of answered prayers. A year full of health scares. A year full of reflection over the last 20 years of marriage. A year full of financial difficulties. A year full of realizing who actually supports and doesn't tear down. A year full of people that are truly happy when you have success. A year full of new opportunities. A year full of old friends becoming new again. A year full of knowing that thru it all... God is good and He is good ALL THE TIME!!

2009 you were very interesting for the Blaine's but we say goodbye. Out with the old.... in with the new!
