I’ll finish out my gratitudes, and the year, with some of my favorite moments from 2011.
Violet’s 6th birthday; NW parents’ visit; and snow!
Out of the Blue’s special guest star killing the crowd at the Triangle Farmers’ Market; Port Aransas with friends.
Hill Country camp wedding, NE parents’ visit, Pappy Hour pirate gig, Graham’s 4th birthday party (Wild Kratts theme).
Thumbelina, from Violet Crown Community Theater; Princess Bride live; the beginning of the loose-tooth era; the kids’ first late night concert.
Rob and I running away to NYC for the day; Out of the Blue’s Moonlight Float gig; Ryan-O’Connor family weekend on Long Island; Fire Island with the Lifford cousins.
Our first flights in Apa’s new airplane, Violet on stage at the county fair; first day of first grade; the Pig & Ford; our trip to the NW.
Fostering 16 baby chickens; installing new floors; first real rain in a year.
Little Red Rocking Hood from Violet Crown Community Theater; kidnapping Rob for our 9th anniversary weekend; Graham learning to pump; Owl Halloween; Violet taking off the training wheels; Becker Fall Fest & 75th Anniversary.
Camping with friends; photography class; E.A.S.T.
Fancy holiday karaoke party; caroling; low-stress Christmas.
And now I’ll stop blogging on New Year’s Eve because, well, that’s kind of lame. And also, I’m about to sip cocktails, watch a movie with someone awesome and fall asleep long before midnight.
NICE.
