Happy New
Year! What did everyone do to celebrate the New Year? We made a
yummy dinner of ahi tuna and oysters Rockefeller and then spent a QUIET evening
together as a family on the couch. Can
you say BLISS? I really enjoyed cuddling
and snuggling and reflecting back on 2016.
And what a year it WAS……
One of my
favorite quotes is “Collect Moments, Not Things.” We had an adventurous year as a family and were
fortunate enough to create everlasting MEMORIES traveling to Disney World, my
mother and father’s house in Florida, Nashville (Giselle LOVED Nashville! OH
BOY!!), Mackinaw Island (The Grand Hotel), Galena, Michigan, Palm Springs,
Kentucky (Celebrating Bob’s ALUMNI weekend), Anguilla, St. Maartin, AND our
annual tradition of a weekend at the Peninsula, Chicago before Christmas.
As for the
girls, I enjoyed volunteering for a week in June for the Girl Scout Camp. Loved spending a week with all of those little
girls and their all so very different personalities! Isabella and Giselle made new friends and
explored the outdoors. Both girls
completed beginning gymnastics for 12 weeks.
Isabella struggled with balance while Giselle flipped around those bars
like nobody’s business. Both girls are
in Girl Scouts and continue to be active within the community. Last week, they finished up their chess
program and continue to LOVE chess. And
just recently, Isabella has been rocking out her skills with her basketball
team which goes until the end of March 2017.
They say
Tomorrow is the FIRST blank page of a 365 PAGEBOOK. Make it a good one! I can’t WAIT to see what 2017 holds for ALL
OF US! I am NOT, (I WILL NOT) RUSH
IT. Not for one second. I will say this…. My CUP RUNNETH OVER. And what that means to me is this: I am super thankful that all of my family and
friends are HEALTHY. I am one lucky
girl. Period. I LOVE each and every one of you! Happy New Year……. THIS IS YOUR YEAR TO
SPARKLE! Make it SHINE! XOXOXOOXOXOXOXOXO
