'Tis the New Year! (Already?!)

Whew! What a whirlwind of a year it has been! And especially these last few weeks! I have very much enjoyed the holidays and everything that comes along with that! Being a teacher, I have a pretty nice break where I don't have to worry about getting called into work. Landon also took some days off, allowing him 17 days at home!! That was really nice! Looking back on this past year, I can not believe how fast it has flown by! It seems like I was just blogging about the first of the year (a year ago). It has been a year FULL of ups and downs. Just a quick recap of some of the happenings this past year...
