New Year, New Header, New Post

It's been too long and a new post was WAY overdue.  Plus, where was the new header I have created on New Years Day in years past?  How about our new year resolutions?  John has a specific request that I keep a certain past resolution off the list this year :) 

Our new year resolutions will have to wait (we are still narrowing down to the attainable ones!), but generally, we strive for lots of laughs, more hugs and fun as we look to 2012!  Our oldest turns 4 in only a few short weeks, our youngest will officially go from baby to toddler, and their parents are celebrating 6 years of blissful marriage today! 
 
As for a look back over the past few weeks:
1. The last night Fred was with us until next year, he enjoyed a little remote control action thanks to his new friend, Rex.
2. New shoes for Will.
3. And a shiny pair for Jack.
4. Christmas morning competition: Candyland style.
5. Christmas brings out the best in us all!
6. Santa had Hawkeye fever.
7. Matching PJs with Nana and Papa.
8. Meeting Cubbie on New Years Eve.
9. Will loved the racetrack at the Science Center while we waited for the balloon drop.
10. And the ball wall.
11. Weatherman Jack.
12. BALLOONS! Happy New Year!
13. How do you spend that restless holiday break afternoon?  At Monkey Joe's!!
14. Or, as Will thought, torture. 
15. Look who fell asleep at dinner on NYE!
16. Snuggling with Dad before the returning to our normal routine.
