Christmas is Over - Bring on 2011

Christmas is over and what a fun Christmas it was. I think Santa was good to everyone in our family. Elli had a blast opening presents although she really just wanted to play with the first thing she saw and had trouble moving onto to the next gift. We have had to do some major reorganization in the house to make room for all of the new toys. Ashli had to make room in her closet for some new clothes. Ali had to make room in her purse for her new phone and her nook.

Bring on the New Years Resolutions for 2011. I prefer to think of them as goals instead of resolutions. It makes me feel more accountable.

For me personally I think it might be time to join the workforce again. I have very mixed feelings about putting Elli in daycare but I know in the end we will make the right decision for our family. I have enjoyed being able to stay home with her and I am blessed to have been able to do so for as long as I have. So for right now I am just in the process of finding the right job fit for me and for our family and I just have to hope that the rest falls into place.
I also have to get back into going to the gym again. The stress of the holidays along with a member of the family being sick almost every single day in December caused me to miss out on my gym time and I miss it.
My only other goal for 2011 is to be happy and content. I have a beautiful, happy and healthy family and I know that I am truly blessed.

A little glimpse of how much our lives have changed since 2008.
