Reflections of Twenty Twelve

2012 was another fantastic year for our family. I could bore you with the blah blah blah of what a lucky lady I am, but I'll just simply say Thank You!

In review, here are a few (ha ha!) of the things that our family was lucky enough to do last year...
*Seth turned 6 and had his first friend sleep over. We took the kids to Chuck E. Cheese and then home for a sleep over. Thank goodness they slept and weren't up all night.
* We tried Leah skiing last year, but she didn't dig it at all. So instead we got her a sitter and the three of us enjoyed many Saturdays on the slopes.
* Seth was asked to be in his very first play at WHS...Miss Saigon. He then was star struck and learned the words to every song from the musical. It was quite an experience for us all.
* I hosted my first assembly at school for the book Have You Filled Someone's Bucket Today?
* We left the kids and headed to LP for an all adult weekend with friends. It was so fun.
* Leah turned 3 and we had a Dora/Ponies party.
* Took Seth to see Annie. He was obsessed with musicals.
* Our friend Zeke turned 40 and Lisa planned a kick butt party for him filled with wine tasting, eating and tons of fun.
* We took the kids to The Great Wolf Lodge. AKA The Most Amazing Family Indoor Water park Ever!!!
* Seth's art work was chosen to be in the Art Show at the State Office Building.
* We all went on an adult Poker Run and got all sorts of muddy.
* Took Seth to see The Phantom of the Opera. Yup another musical.
* We went to a Memorial Day party at The Dickinson's new cottage...super fun.
* I went to NYC and full filled my current Bucket List thanks to the wonderful Smith sisters.
* Took Seth to see Godspell...yes musical #4 for the year and it is only June.
* We travelled to NH to see our wonderful friends The Gilbert's then headed to Lake George to meet up with the family. It was an amazing trip, truly memorable.
* My sister Dayna got married on the battlefield in Sackets.
* We went to every parade that we could all summer long.
* Took the kids to Enchanted Forest and Knoebel's.
* Seth attended the YMCA camp and Beaver Camp.
* Roland and I celebrated our 10th Anniversary in style. He surprised me and we went to Turning Stone for an overnight. It was full of spa treatments, a Brazilian Steakhouse and so much more.
* Our friends had a surprise anniversary party for us. Priceless.
* We went to Pirate Days and Halloween in August.
* We took Seth to his 1st SU football game with full tailgating. Such a great day.
* Took Seth to see Fame Jr. #5 musical of the year.
* Participated in the Turkey Run on Thanksgiving for the first time as a family.
* Seth was in The Littlest Elf at the Lake Ontario Playhouse. Such an amazing experience for us all.
* Seth was a Wise Man in the Christmas Eve children's mass.
* Finished off the year with amazing holiday celebrations with all of our families and then had a Pre-NYE Red Solo Cup party.
2012 ROCKED
Huge thanks to our amazing family and friends for making this year possible.
