Year End Review 2011

It always seems like life is pretty routine until our annual year end review.  We have done this for many years now and it's always so nice to look back over the year and see what happened in our family.  In the past we have gone to our favorite Chinese resteraunt, The Egg Roll Machine, but this year Camden was craving PF Changs lettuce wraps so we headed there.  There are no pictures because I just didn't feel like being bothered with it.  I wanted to be with my family, enjoying every bite of yummy food and just being present in the moment with them.  Every year seems to be passing more quickly, especially where Madison is concerned and sometimes you just need to sit and enjoy.
