Where have we been?

So I have been rather delinquent in my blog upkeep over the past month, but I feel like I've hardly had a moment to breathe in December. So here's a quick run-down of the month's events...

The month started with my BFF, Becky's wedding! So happy for her and Justin, and of course I got to be a bridesmaid one more time. Engagement to wedding day was 3 months-so I had very little time to plan and throw both a couple's shower and a bachelorette party. Needless to say, it was all great fun, and I'm so glad I could do it for Becky as she is such a wonderful friend to me.
Since things were so hectic leading up to the wedding...absolutely nothing was done in preparation for the holidays until the wedding was over. I had 3 weeks to deck my halls, purchase all our gifts, bake cookies, get Christmas cards ordered and mailed, and try to enjoy the holiday season with my little man....

The month of December has been full of firsts for the Hankster.

Hank at the mall Christmas shopping with mama enjoying his first kids meal at Chick-fil-A!
Hank's first haircut-he thought this was the coolest thing ever!
Hank's first visit with Santa-not nearly as fun as the haircut...

First fever...looks real sick, huh? Luckilly it only lasted 24 hours and he was quickly back in action
And my favorite first....WALKING! at 13.5 months Hank FINALLY took a few steps on his own, and now if he's going somewhere, he's walking there! I fear that we are days away from all out running. We have some really great walking videos, but I'm having technical difficulties getting them uploaded. I'll work on it...
So after 2 crazy, hectic weeks of preparation, Christmas Eve finally arrived at our house and lucky for us, Santa decided we had been good this year! We had a fairly quiet Christmas spending time with both sets of grandparents and generally enjoying some time off from work.


And in the midst of our crazy December the precious Sentra finally decided to die (the BEST Christmas gift I could ask for-Johnny would disagree). With nearly 200K miles, two duct taped on mirrors, a shattered windshield, worn breaks and tires, and now a dead clutch Johnny decided to throw in the towel and purchase us the "family friendly vehicle" I've been begging for. Welcome to the family! Note that I am not, and will not, be driving a mini-van.



So here we are in 2011, I'm hoping we have a calmer January, but that just generally doesn't seem to be our style.
