2011

I'm not quite sure how it happened but here we are in 2011. The last year flew by in a blur. From Sean's management training, the discovery and birth of the twins, my Mom's heart attack, Sean's promotion to a new town and all the happenings in between, it was quite the year! I'm kind of hoping for an anti-climatic 2011. I'm guessing with 5 little monkeys this probably won't be the case.

We spent a quiet New Year's at home but it was the first time in 5 years that I managed to stay awake until midnight. Is it bad that the only reason I did stay awake until midnight was that my 4 and 5 year old did the same. We told them they could thinking there was no way they would manage but they surprised us.

Earlier in the evening as I was preparing a dinner full of appetizers the kids asked if they could have a dance party. Envisioning a wild, loud activity I told them they would have to go in the play room. Suddenly this soft, peaceful music comes from the CD player and I look to find them waltzing!! It was even complete with a kiss.
