Happy New Year

Out goes Christmas 2011 and all its fun and family, in comes the New Year. Now for the next month or so I will write 2011 and then have to scratch it out to 2012.

We got a couple new ornaments this year, I got my Swarovski Crystal, this year it looked like a poinsettia flower. I have one from every year Adam and I have been married, that makes 9 crystal ornaments; my how the time flies.

Grandma Pam has found Germany wooden ornaments for us for years now, and we have a beautiful collection started too. I loved this year's Santa climbing up the ladder, very cute.


And my Grandma Ruth has been making hand made ornaments for years. She makes them for all the grandkids, grandkids-inlaws, and greatgrandkids. I think that means she makes 40 or so every year. This year it was a cucumber and you can see it sparkling on the tree below. I usually display all my Grandma Ruth ornaments on garland over our fire place.


Little man was helping shovel the icy snow we got last night, but didn't appreciate the wind. We came in side and had fun playing on the couch. Still gotta love peekaboo!








And now I am off to fulfill my new years promise of exercising twice a week, I hope I keep with it. I am thinking of a sticker chart to keep me honest :)

It will be a bit easier now, or I will have less excuses as Adam will be home in the evenings now. He starts 3rd shift tonight, so we will see how that goes for him. I am worried about his sleeping.
