Out with the Old, in with the New!!!

New Year, New blog look!!!!  I'm not usually one for making resulotions, I never keep them so I just don't bother to make them anymore.  This year, I've been thinking I really should make one or two and keep them. So I'm starting out slow!!   I think I'm going to make this my healthy as can be year! I miss the days of eating everything healthy, not being really active and so on!  I am still active but it's a different kind of active, one that works so a 2 year old can keep up.  Everything I do is kid related, I need to get back into being active for me.   


Our Christmas was by far the best one in a long time, it was great to just have to travel to my mom's house and stay there. We spent Christmas eve together, baking and getting things ready for our big Boxing Day family Christmas.  When we'd finally had enough of that, we opened up the wii and played Family Fued! It was so much fun and so nice to have a family bonding. Christmas day, we went to volunteer at a soup kitchen. Something we do every year and afterwards we enjoyed a nice Chinese food dinner! Jaelon didn't really get the whole opening gifts thing again this year but he did open a few things. Boxing Day was a busy day, everyone was there, Jaelon had a ton of fun running around with his cousins and our homemade gifts were a big hit! I don't know if I'll be able to top them. Thank goodness for Pintrest ;) We did Ornaments with glitter inside, Jaelon painted the outside, I bought that lovely brown packing paper and let him go to town on it. That was our wrapping paper this year! Also thanks to Pintrest found how to make gift bows! So I did that as well! I loved this gift this year and was happy to see that everyone loved them just as much!  


Good-bye 2011 bring on 2012!!!
