2012

I always find myself wondering where did the year just go and these thoughts usually start showing up around Thanksgiving time.  The hustle of the holidays sets a rhythm that causes time to pass even more quickly and before you know it the ball is dropping in New York City and shouts and fireworks bring in another year.  Another chance to change and start fresh. 


Things I am looking forward to in the new year.  My kids' birthday parties.  I dread the fact they grow so quickly but I love throwing them birthday parties.  Perhaps the biggest event will by the arrival of baby Fullmer 2012.  I think I'm just as excited for his/her arrival as I was for Landon's and every child since. I have my 20 week ultrasound this Friday and I'm looking forward to seeing him/her again on the screen.  There are many other things I'm looking for this year to bring but for now let's talk about New Years Eve.

I did a photo shoot of Inara in her lady bug pjs and she looks as adorable as always so here are some of those.

Jadzia, my mom and I went shopping.  I thought Jadzia would enjoy a girls' day out.  I let her pick out a treat and she chose a princess crown with pink curly hair extensions and lip gloss.  She had to run in and ask her Daddy if she looked beautiful as soon as we got home.  Her dad agreed she was the prettiest princess he's ever seen. 

I decided to make tonight fun for the kids.  We had a special dinner but dessert was the best part.  We made ice cream cones with personalized toppings.  Ronan couldn't have the icecream or the cone but I don't think he minded as his Grandma kept him occupied. 

But this was Inara's very first ice cream cone.  She wore a very blue face to prove just how much she loved it.

we finished the evening watching movies.  Isaac had to leave and the babies and Jadzia fell asleep.  I snuck the boys out of their room and we sat on the upstairs couch and watched one extra movie.  The movie ended as the clock hit midnight and the boys jumped up and down. Their smiles were the best way to bring in a new year.

Happy New Year, Everyone!  I hope 2012 brings you many blessings.
