The end to a great year

We are officially "old" and were in bed before midnight! So although we didn't technically see the year's end, we still had a great year to reflect on. We definitely didn't have any big changes like last year (a new baby and a new house) but we cherished the special moments we had as our family has grown together and we have settled into a routine. We had two siblings get married, one have their third baby, and one announce they are expecting a baby so still an exciting year. Matt had another wonderful year with his practice and I am loving working three days a week. Hadley finished 3 year old preschool, started 4 year old preschool, played soccer, and continued taking dance. She got her ears pierced (and didn't even flinch) and wants to grow her hair like Rapunzels. She talks ALL the time and has the best (and loudest) laugh I have ever heard. We finished reading through her entire childrens bible and she is maturing into such a sweet, sensitive little girl. Hudson learned to walk, celebrated his first birthday, and is quickly showing us he may be the class clown. He loves to cuddle but only for a moment because there is usually something he wants to demolish or climb. He is our wonderful sleeper, sleeping until 7 in the morning and a 3 hour nap almost every day. He started mother's day out for the first time in September and after a rough couple months he finally loves going and playing with all the other kids. We could not have asked for a better year and thank God that he has blessed us so incredibly! We cannot wait to see what 2012 holds for our family and friends...
