Best. Christmas. Card. Ever.
Another year has past, and I sit here doing one of my most favorite things.
Revisiting the year as I recorded it.
(Feel free to click on any of the highlights to remember it with me)
January saw another visit by Stroller Guy, a butt load of snow days, and random conversations with the kids. It was also the month where I began to tell you stories both good and bad.
February brought about new characters by the names of Walter, Ezio, and the Anonymous Male. It was also the month I made you all jealous of my Sundays.
March was the month of the Bag O' Stupid and the start of How To Tuesdays which were incredibly informative. Oh how I wish Christie would start them up again. Youngest turned 9 and saved the free world., and I let you all use my new bathroom.
In April we took in the NBA, and I took parenting lessons from Michael Jordan. It was also the start of Truth Is Thursday. Going back through them, Truth is... it seems I have always needed a nap.
April Showers brought May flowers, but May also brought my niece's dress for the wedding, and some Extreme Couponing.
I had some conversations with Youngest in June, and Oldest as well. It was also held the single best memory Oldest has ever had of his father, and when I discussed the need for an app that could turn your phone into a taser.
July found us in NH at the balloon festival very early in the morning, the start of the basement renovation still underway. We found our way to a Red Sox Game, and the hidden gem of Lake Compounce in CT.
August was the wedding. 'Nuff said.
September, the boys started fourth and fifth grade and Bonus Brother started his Senior year of High School, as we honeymooned in Vegas. I tried making Gluten Free Pop Tarts, and told 'y'all where I'm from.
October brought about my 37th year, I attempted to cut back on my sugar intake, and took the kids to the zoo.
November was the month Oldest turned 11., we played poker (sort of) and killed the beast. I put up the Christmas tree, and tried to become a professional cyclist.
December closed out the year, with a roller coaster of ups and downs. The boys paid their respects as they finished the epic novel that is their history with their father. Christmas came and went, and here we are full circle.
Another year down, a new year ahead...
...full of amazing things yet to be discovered.
Darling, I don't like to complain, but I've never been invited to use your bathroom. I do NOT leave smears on the seat the way ex-husband did. Anyway, quite a year I'd say.

Lola, any time you're in the neighborhood and have to pee, feel free to stop in. But remember, I have four boys in the house at any given moment, so look before you sit if you come without notice. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year. I know it won't be boring. Or bofing, which is what I originally typed.
ReplyDeleteSo much more informative than what I'd planned on doing. Might need to revise my originally scheduled post for Saturday.
ReplyDeleteYou had a busy year my friend!
ReplyDeleteOkay, yes. BEST CHRISTMAS CARD EVER. Wish I'd found it and sent it and bought one for myself to keep. Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful busy year. I am looking forward to journeying through 2012 with you.
ReplyDeleteI get tired reading your daily posts. I am worn out from reding your year end review.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful New Years.
Happy New Year Jules...
ReplyDeleteI am ready to kiss 2011 goodbye, are you?
2012 will be the best ever!
:)
Oh my goodness, I missed far too much this month......off to read read read and find the answers to my "wait, what?!" moments......
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome run through of the year. I was so excited that I had already read most of these. Here's to another great year full of blog material.
