I have to admit, I am actually sad to say goodbye to 2010. On New Years Eve I found myself reading posts from everyone that said “can’t wait for 2011″ and “2011 is going to be a great year” and I kept thinking but 2010 was an incredible YEAR! A little crazy, okay A LOT crazy, but INCREDIBLE nonethless.
I started off 2010 with a resolution, I made a To Do List, a list of everything I wanted to accomplish that year. Let me tell you, I got NONE of it done and here’s why:
In January we found ourselves smack dab in the middle of what all the news stations were calling Snowmageddon and then a few weeks later we found ourselves in the middle of Snowmageddon Part Deaux.
In February P-Daddy went away for 6 weeks and left behind a little surprise. We found out we were pregnant with P #3, and NO we were not planning it.
March was full of Morning Sickness, and exhaustion since I was pregnant and taking care of two kids by myself. I also suffered a First Trimester Subchorionic Hemorrhage scaring the crap out of me and making me even more emotional.
In April we started off the month celebrating my baby boy’s 2nd birthday with an Easter Birthday Bash. And we finished off the month with the Princess’s Earthday Birthday Party.
In May we got word that it was PCS time and we were indeed moving back to the West Coast. There was lots of other fun sprinkled into the month because It just wouldn’t be a day-in-the-life without a 2 year old fiasco!
June was all about the move butwe still managed to make time for Miss P’s Dance Recital . We had to get ready and had about a month to do it. Of course it just wouldn’t be a Military move if something didn’t go wrong, but finally we were all packed up and ready to go!
July was very busy with Sgt. Daddy’s Promotion and on the same day we started our trek across country to our new home. Can you believe we drove 2300 miles in 56 hours? I’m still dizzy just thinking about it.
In August I was in my third trimester, and at 28 weeks P3 was looking great and right on schedule.
Come September P1 was back in school! We started her Pre-K year with the same back to school traditons that I had as a child.
October 9th P3 was introduced. We could not be happier to have her in our lives! A few weeks later I still managed to make the P’s their Halloween costumes (with the help of my mom on P2′s racecar request) and enjoy Halloween Festivities with the family.
We took a couple road trips in November. To Arizona to visit my dad and attend a Cardinals Football game, and up to Northern California to visit my mom for Thanksgiving and my extened , including my grandmother and great-grandmother. A gathering of Five Generations!
And finally December. P-daddy was gone yet again, for 4 weeks, but once he returned it was all relaxing and getting ready for Christmas. The house was filled with the sounds of the P’s singing their version of Santa Clause is Coming to Town. They made their Christmas requests and we took our anual picture with Santa.
But we weren’t letting go of 2010 without one last Family Fun day. We spent New Years Eve at Seaworld and had a blast!
Here’s to hoping that 2011 with bring us all the joy, happiness, love and laughter that 2010 did.
Happy New Year!
