Well we're back here again! Christmas time is upon us! And it's almost time to start another new year. Even though we've been through so many changes this year, we have a lot to be thankful for. We're so thankful to my family who, through everything we've been through, have always been supportive and never asked for anything in return! Love you mom and dad. We are truly blessed! We're also thankful for Aaron's family because with out them we wouldn't have the ability to laugh through some of the tough times, and it's Aaron's ability to make me laugh that has carried us through so much! We love you all!
We had the most amazing summer. The older the kids get, the more fun they are! I can honestly say we took just about every opportunity (and sunny day) to get out and do things.
Recap on the year: We sold our house on the lake but were fortunate enough to land in a wonderful house, with a playground next door (as the kids will excitedly tell you)! We lost our dog, Smokey, (who had been with us since we first got married), yet we've gained a new family member in our new puppy, Rocket.
There have been many ups and downs this year but as they say, what doesn't kill ya...
On a more positive note, Tyler started Kindergarten and is doing so well it just floors us how grown up he's getting. Isabelle is doing equally as well in Pre-K, and she's loving every minute of it.
Aaron started a new band, Can't Complain, and it's been so much fun going out to shows to support them and watch them play!
We're excited to get this new year started, as we always are! Looking forward to the new additions being made to the Germaine clan (congratulations to the Fennell Family). We can't wait to meet him (or) her!
Our Santa picture for this year was a huge success!
What a wonderful time mom and I had taking the kids to Seattle to ride the monorail and see Santa. It was something our family used to do when we were kids. It was super special to experience it with kids of my own, and we hope to make it a tradition once again. Continuing in the Christmas fun, this week the kids have been cooking up a little Christmas cheer of their own! (( Stay tuned))
So later, when all the wonderful Christmas projects and decorations have been taken down and stored for next year, it will be nice to have had good memories of 2010 as we move into 2011.
To everyone out there reading this Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!
Love and Hugs!
The Germaines
