It's a Wrap 2012

It really has been a year of ups and downs.  I wanted to do something fun and go threw the year of post and find the post that had the most views and re-cap them here!  Even with the downs you have to take them brush yourself off and keep moving forward.  I wish you all a wonderful New Year that will bring many joys and moments to come.  May God Bless you in this new year!  Thank you for being my friends and I'm so blessed to have you all and I enjoy reading about your families, your meals and all the fun things you post about.  Thank you again for being part of my life!

Here we go!  Hang on 12 months and 12 recaps!  And just to have some fun I thought I'd add some of my favorite post also.

Weekend Wrap Wednesday ~ Wrapping up the Year

WOWZER it was a good weekend full of lot's of fun!

First off show off some amazing mom gifts :). I had to buy a vacuum (yes I spelled that wrong on the picture) for myself. Rick bought me two great gifts. I even got a time to get my toes done! Then the SUPER duper of all gifts. My bosses first sent me a Nook Color for Christmas that was JUST awesome. Sadly I had some problems with my WiFi not connecting and few hours on the phone with their CS in India. Sadly nothing wrong with anyone from there but we couldn't understand each other. And all they kept telling me was to buy a new router and WiFi. Then I had problems with downloading books. BUT I would never say anything, my boss was so sweet and asked me if I was having problems like she was. She told me to pack it up and return it and she was picking us all up iPads! I almost died at the amazing generosity and that they would know me so well that I would love to read books on the go. I am so blessed and grateful to have such wonderful bosses that I consider to be family.

New Years Eve we headed to my childhood best friends house for a fun night! She had the Kinex and we all busted out the Dance Centeral. All I have to say is the Old Skool hip hop songs kick you butt! I had to work the next morning at 6am so it was an early night, but fun to hang out :).

And THANKS to Rick who suggested we take the kids to ZooLights. He usually is working but he made time on his day off to go with us. This is the first time we went as a whole family, I usually take the boys by myself. It was cold but so much fun and I was happy to have him along.

And then Sunday my other childhood Best Friend (we all grew up on the same block) had her sons 4th Birthday party at Chuck E Cheese. The kids loved and and of course my little escape artist Caden decided to pull a disappearing act and almost had me in tears! They don't let you leave with out showing your stamp and you and the child MUST have the same stamp but still it freaked me not to be able to find him. Turns out there is a HUGE 9 ft Rocking horse that he crawled up upon and was watching over his panic ridden mom :).

I told you it was busy!! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!
