We decided last minute to go out for NYE. And by go out I mean we went to dinner with some of J’s friends and I had a whopping 1 drink. It was perfect. Seriously. Hope you all had a fabulous New Years Eve. Here’s to an even better 2012.

I wish I would have taken a picture of all the gifts before hand. The pool table was covered.…

Christmas Eve Eve 2011
The day before Christmas Eve, Ben and I went to my mom’s house where we met my sister and nieces to decorate cookies for Santa. Later that night we decorated our Gingerbread Man House.

To a two year old, we created the freakin Taj Mahal. Go us.

This year we had 3 Thanksgivings and we also celebrated our niece’s 1st birthday. Here’s our Thanksgiving through pictures.
