Hello 2013!
One of my New Year resolutions was to blog more, but now we are sitting at January 17th and I haven't written one thing!
We had a wonderful end of the holiday season and actually did pretty well juggling our multiple families! All in all 2012 was probably the most memorable year we could have ever imagined. We welcomed our little bundle of joy into the world and have had the great joys of watching him grow, which he does WAY too fast. He's already 8 months old!
It was such a fun Christmas this year I think for everyone involved. Brody's little presence brought back the spirit of Christmas for a lot of us and he really added joy to each occasion we were at.
We celebrated at my dad's with a big party, Brody sure got spoiled by everyone including his 2 aunties! I don't think they put him down all night.
The next day we went to my mom's and had a HUGE celebration there with all my cousins, my grandma, and my aunts and uncles. Brad and I had a great time "icing" a few of our cousins...we added it to our secret santa game, and we were pretty sneaky about it. It was hilarious!
Then Christmas Eve, we headed over to Brad's cousin Darik's for yet ANOTHER huge celebration! This was quite special, we had all the little kids dress up in matching jammies and Uncle D put on his traditional santa suit and showed up as Santa! Boy were the kids excited! Brody and Zack didn't really know what was going on, but they will get it someday :) It was a fun night! The kids sure do make Christmas special.
January is almost out the door. I look forward to turning 29 next week. The last year in my 20's, I guess I have to say goodbye to clubs, raves, bikini's, shots, nightclubs, cigarettes, grinding, short dresses, heels, red lipstick, late nights, hangovers, oh wait.......pretty sure I have been going to bed at 8pm the last 5 years so bring it on 30! ;)
Brad and I have a super busy month in February, but a nice vacation to Mexico in the middle to break things up, we are looking forward to a couple days of relaxation, but will miss our little boy like crazy! Not like he really cares :)
Hope everyone is having a great start to 2013!
Love,
Ashley, Brad and Brody
