Happy 2012!

I can't believe it's 2012. 2011 seemed to fly by, especially the last couple months. What a year it has been, 2011 was a pretty good year, minus the throwing up. I was pregnant for most of it and now I am a mom! A MOM! I started listing all my goals for this year and got embarrassed at how many I have, so I am not going to share them.

We celebrated at Josh's parents house in Eden, with everyone in Josh's family except his mom who was in Florida for the week. We drove up Friday night after Josh got off of work. I spent pretty much all day Friday getting ready to go, my sister in laws and I planned on making some freezer meals while up there so I had lots of grocery shopping to do plus I had to pack for 3 people. Packing for a baby is quite a to-do. This picture is just baby stuff so far.

On the drive up there I was a mess, freaking out that I forgot something, which wouldn't have been a big deal because we were only going to be there for less than 2 days, we were only an hours and a half away from home, and there is a washing machine and a grocery store, but I am kinda crazy. Nikson slept the whole ride up there and whole ride home. We spent most the day Saturday in the kitchen. After 5 hours of preparing the 3 or us ended up with 18 freezer meals each that will keep us fed for the whole month of January thanks to my sister in laws FoodSaver.

While was in the kitchen Josh played Call of Duty with Michael, so kid friendly video games with our nieces, and Baby Nikson did not get ignored, his cousins sure love him!

After spending the day in the kitchen Josh's dad treated us to yummy Mexican dinner, and the menu listed everything that is gluten free, I love that. Then we all watched a movie. We all headed to bed at 11:45. I rang in the new year in bed feeding Nikson, I probably wouldn't of even know it was midnight if there weren't fireworks going off outside. We are party animals!

On Sunday Nikson made his debut to church on new years day, not even in our own ward. We only went to sacrament and he slept through it. Hopefully he is that good next week for his blessing.

We had a very fun New Year celebration, I hope you did too.
