I can't believe the Holidays are over! I can't believe it's 2012! All of our Christmas is put away. Even the beautiful lights that were on our house. Put in storage, until next year. Chris goes back to work tomorrow, and then the following day, Bree goes back to school. We will resume our normal schedule.
Our little family stayed home for New Years. Just the 4 of us. We let the girls stay up until Midnight, and they both made it. All though, the minute we were done jumping up and down, blowing our horns, and saying "Happy New Year", Bree was ready to hit the sack! We played games with the girls, had an incredible spread of food, way too much for the 4 of us, and watched the ball drop in Times Square, from the comfort of our family room. It was relaxed and fun!
The only pictures I took, were of the girls yesterday morning, and then the food I made for our little New Years celebration.
Today was our first day of church on our new schedule. 1 to 4! We haven't had that schedule in years. It is really weird to come home, eat dinner, and then realize that it's already dark outside. It was also Elle's first day in Sunbeams. She was so grown up! Bree has a set of Chris' old scriptures that she takes each week, and Elle wanted to do the same. So Chris dug out an old set of my scriptures for Elle. She was in heaven. Both girls wore a CTR ring too. I think the only complaint Elle had, was that in sharing time, when they were calling on kids to be helpers, she raised her hand several times, but was never called on. This made her mad, and she wasn't in such a good mood when we picked her up. She was probably tired from staying up so late the night before also :)
Chris and I have been working on a 1000 piece puzzle for days now. One I borrowed from my mom, and I think I'd have to say that it's one of the hardest puzzles we've ever done! But we finished it tonight.
All in all, I have really enjoyed the holidays this year. I LOVE my little family so so much. Even more than I have words to express. I can't wait to set some new goals, and work towards them this year. So here's to making 2012 the Best year EVER!!! Happy New Year, everyone :)

Sounds like a fun little celebration! Way to go on the puzzle. I watched a few get put together at the cabin, but I don't have the patience to do it myself!
Happy 2012~
Wow, so impressed that they made it to midnight!!
Your yummy food spread is making me hungry. Could it be that it's almost lunch time now? Fun celebrations. You are a great mom.
