Goodbye 2011…..

It was a good year!! I can’t believe how much the kids have changed in one year. Harper was a BABY last January and now she is 2 going on 16 (don’t believe me? spend 10 minutes with her).

In honor of the year that was 2011, I have compiled a recap of pictures from our biggest events. Mainly because I have no life, so this is how I spent my Saturday and also because……..welp can’t think of another reason, basically I have no life, that’s all.

{The words in red have a link to that blog post.}

I would give you my New Years resolutions but I don’t have them yet. Lose weight and run another half marathon. That’s probably it. That and don’t sell my kids on e-bay, think that may be illegal anyway.

Happy New Year everyone!!! Here’s hopin’ 2012 is as good as 2011……………..and that the world doesn’t end like they say it will on December 21st…………yes I worry about that kind of stuff (read, obsess) don’t you? Oh.
