Christmas wrap up
Things have been busy at our house over the holidays. Here is an over view of some photos from Christmas.
This is Aaron's first visit with Santa. He was afraid to visit Santa last year. He got to see Santa at his day care Christmas party.
This is our 2008 Christmas tree. It fit much better in the other house so we have purchased a shorter tree for next year so the angel will actually fit on top.
A lovely photo of cousins all looking at something in the corner of Grammy's living room. Both of my nieces are 7, my nephew is 4 and A is almost 3.
Sorting trains into the train case on Christmas morning.
Daddy making silly faces at the camera!

Resolutions
New Year's Resolutions
I always hate to think about resolutions but this year I am making a couple and I am hoping that you can help keep me focused.
1) Spend more time doing family things
2) Keep my Etsy store stocked and refresh inventory often
3) Reduce the family debt load (reason to keep Etsy stocked)
4) Plan weekly menus in advance
5) Lose 50 pounds (I know its a lot but I am trying to avoid some health issues I could have in the future)
