2012 Year in Review

2012 was a sad year in terms of current events.  For our family it was (as always) a busy year full of parties, vacations and outings.  I am extremely grateful that we have the means to be able to take these trips and do things with our family.  When I summarized our year in review I was kind of shocked at just how many things we did this year.  I didn’t realize it until I started writing them all down in one place.  (Of course the summer  months are more busy)
