HAPPY 2013!

            Hard to believe 2012 has come and gone. .  . . honestly each year just seems faster than the last. So much to be thankful for and remember.  Looking forward to all the great memories we will make with family and friends in 2013.
             Christmas was so much fun this year.  The kids were up all night with excitement and wonder. They are not allowed down stairs until 7:00 but I heard them up several times "peeking" down the stairs.  They think they were tricky getting up four or five times to use the bathroom, but Chris and I were on to them. Ha!

Christmas morning was blanketed with the softest dusting of fluffy white snow.  Just enough to cover the ground and create a picturesque New England Christmas.  Two days later another story!  Over a foot of snow that made some Christmas vacationers very happy!

  Finley proudly made this snowman all by himself!

Our bunny, Ollie just loved the Christmas tree.  This is where I would find him lying every day. Precious!  Poor thing is going to miss the tree when we take it down.

My sweet Hunter turned 12 on December 31st.  He is practically bigger than me at this point.  Growing up so fast with his new braces.  He was thrilled to get an ipad mim from Nana Sharon and Papa Fred!

 Over the christmas break Chris and I were able to see the Dave Matthews with the Lumineers as their opening act! I am loving me some Lumineers these days.  They were both so good!
We got to spend a few days in Portsmouth as well.  It was so fun.  We kept running into people we knew and had lots of fun at the Blue Mermaid Restaurant.  The food was so good and they made the best drinks!

We rang in the New Year with Matt and Erin.  Matt has a great house for parties with an amazing wine cellar.  He got the best sushi and the wine was of course dee-lish! We had so much fun!

         

One of my new years resolutions is to really reave up my running.  I have been running quite a bit the last year with my friend Lisa.  My goal this year is to get more competitive and enter some races.  I already did two 5k's two months ago and loved it.  I've decided this year I want to run a half marathon and to get prepared I ran my first 10k on New Year's Day!  I was so proud of myself, not to mention I went to bed at 3:00 in the morning the day of the race.  Luckily race day adrenaline kept me going.  I ran with my friend Lisa and we had a blast!  The best part was the wine cork medal.  So cute! Thanks Lisa xo
