So Long, 2011!

The past few days we've just been hanging here at home before I travel to VA to do a class in five days.  I am so close to the end of my program I can taste it now.  Anyway, here are some pics of the end of our time with 2011.  (Not pictured:  the HOURS I have spent preparing for my "five-day" class.) 

Oh, and before I forget, Noah's quote for 2012:  "I'm gonna be five, and then I'm gonna drive the car."  Ha!

Here are the pics!

We have been enjoying Romeo.  He is a great dog for the kids. And for wearing shirts.  

Noah is becoming quite infatuated with bowling and golf.  He and Daddy went to the golf course earlier last week and had a blast.  We went bowling later in the week, and he loved it.  He wants to have his birthday "at bowling" so we shall see!

Spaghetti in our house should bear a warning label:  NEVER leave Gabe unattended with spaghetti.  2011 has taught us this many times.  We need to carry this nugget of wisdom with us into 2012.

 We spent New Years Eve around the "camp fire" as the boys call it.  We roasted hot dogs and marshmellows and had a great time. (FYI: I love the pictures with their faces lit by the fire glow.)

What a year!  Stay tuned for a Hello, 2012! post.
