1) What did you do in 2011 that you'd never done before?
Took a baby on an airplane! and a helicopter for that matter. Both terrifying but for different reasons. Plane: afraid Bobby would act terrible, scream, cry, I would receive death glares from passengers. Helicopter: You are much more aware of how HIGH and how dangerous what you are doing really is!
Took a WHOLE week's vacation after Christmas...MUST REPEAT every year. HEAVEN!
2) Did you keep your new year's resolutions, and will you make more for next year.
Last Year: Get out and be more social...I am soo bad about being a home body and I am afraid life is going to pass me by!
Success....I did get out more (in comparsion to the year before anyway). I took a trip out of my comfort zone and I tried to length the cord between Bobby and I a little bit. I will always be an obsessive mother...but I tried to remember who "I" am as well.
This year: Stop cussing.
3)Did anyone close to you give birth?

Ringing in the New Year...
Again, I know how late I am posting about this but at least its documented for later. We had a busy night scheduled for New Year's Eve because two of my closest friends were BOTH hosting party's...and I was determined that I wasn't going to let either one of them down. So I decided to take the plunge and for the 1st time stay the night away from Bobby... luckily Grandma and Grandpa's are always eager and happy to keep the angel so he spent the whole night at their house. I did better than I expected because once I dropped him off I was already running late and the busier you are the less time there is to think.
First off, my friend Tara's house. Man, this girl knows how to throw a party. She had the ENTIRE house decked out in 2011 decorations, she had hourly door prizes, and a table decked out in yummy snacks. I just wish I would have had my real camera with me to capture them all but who wants to be responsible for an expensive camera on New Year's Eve? Not me! So these are the only pic's I got from her house except for the last one that I stole from her blog.
Hideous picture of me...but had to document the night, right?
These are the "girls from the hood" as we like to say.
She was hosting a masquerade themed party.
The whole night was a lot of fun! Did I miss my baby? YES, of course. But did I need a grown up night out on the town...YES, again.
