Another year in review

I did this last year, and all though time consuming, totally worth it.  I tend to forget what we did throughout the year, and days becomes months and you get sucked into a time warp.  So it is nice to look back and reflect.  To re-cherish the moments that past to quickly.  To smile at them again as you remember being back in that moment.  That is why I blog, so that I have concrete memories that I can relive any time I want.  I can't wait to see what 2014 holds.

January-

• I participated in my first cleanse.  Wasn't as hard as I thought it would be, but wasn't a breeze either.
• We went Sledding, which I think Max had a love/hate relationship with.
• Max had his first and hopefully last taste of poop.

February-

• I lost my dear friend Sharon.

March-

• My BFF got engaged!!!
• My Hubby was sporting a horrible beard that he loved dearly.

Birthdays!!!

Birthday parties are so fun!  And I have learned it doesn't have to be all about the kids.  Throw some wine and beer in the mix and you have your self a good ol' party.  Only its at 11:00 AM rather than PM. 

 Stella, who is Max's best buddy was turning Three.  About 8-10 miniature people were there running around bat shit crazy, hyped up on sugar and cupcakes.  It was pure delight. 

I can't believe that in less than 6 months Max will also be celebrating this Third birthday.

 Man, where does that time go?
