Goodbye 2011...Hello 2012

Hilton Head Island

Disney on Ice

Cinderella

Cason's blessing (Pittman Family)

Braves game

I love to reflect back on the year and remember what all we have done and then to look forward to what's coming ahead in the next year. Neil even gets involved with my end of the year posts to help me remember!

2011

We celebrated Addison's 2nd Birthday in March along with her first stomach bug the day before her big party (yuck)! Neil finished his school year and started his rotations, which he has loved (for the most part)! Two of our nephews, Brandon and Payton, turned 12 and received the Aaronic priesthood. Two of our nieces, Kali (May) and Grace (July) both turned 1 this year! We took 2 trips to Atlanta to see good friends of ours sealed in the temple and then another trip with my mom, sister, and our girls for the Atlanta Temple Open House and visited the American Girl store.

I finished my 5th year teaching in May and had a wonderful summer with Addison. We found out that we are expecting our second baby in June (Happy Father's Day to Neil)! We went to Hilton Head for 2 days for a mini-vacation to the beach! We welcomed a new baby nephew, Cason, to our family in July!

I started my 6th year teaching in August and found out our new bundle of joy is going to be a BOY in September. We took a trip with some friends to Atlanta to a BRAVES game! Addison started wearing "panties" in September and now is officially potty trained (except at night). Addison and I went to Disney on Ice in October and we loved it!

We celebrated Halloween with a little princess (Cinderella) and then got to spend Thanksgiving and Christmas with both of our families! I was released from my Young Women's calling and Neil was released as Elder's Quorum President after 5 years and called to be Executive Secretary.

We finished the year off by buying a 2011 Toyota Sienna (van) and we're celebrating the New Year at home with Neil enduring the stomach virus (yuck)!

2012

Our nephew, Ryan, will turn 8 February 7th and baptized on the 11th. The arrival of our baby boy, Eli Wesley, expected due date February 29, 2012! Addison will turn 3 on March 5th! Neil finishes PA school the end of March, takes the PANCE test in April, and after the results will officially be Physician Assistant!!!!! Our niece, Katelyn, will turn 8 and be baptized June 4th! Our nephew Cason will turn 1 in July!

I can't wait to see what else we have in store for 2012! Happy New Year!!!
