And Thus Ends The Holiday Break!

Happy Twenty Twelve! I'm still amazed that we are in a new year. 2011 zzzzzZZZZoomed by. We were busy doing something every single month and I still didn't get it all done!

January 2011 kicked off in Y'bor City, FL with Matt. We spent a fair amount of time at the Tampa Bay Brewing Company. Any place that has a slogan stating Beer Is Your Friend is a must for me.





I turned Four T and I celebrated Birthday Week and capped it off with an amazing dinner at Mimmo's with Don and Velma!

I had a Pie Party aka Pie Palooza - It was friggen AWESOME
And I made napkins with a pie plate as my PRIZE!



In February my Internet crashed and I was out for most of the month. I did however finish my curtains for the kitchen, and joined my very first apron swap.



Geoff made all the lovely curtain rods....they are wooden and beautiful!


My Loot


The Apron I made.

March came with a vengeance and kicked February in the ASS - I snow shoed my existence into the ground and was sick for nearly the entire month. Hence, March sucked.

April brought people out of hibernation well after this horrific April Fools Joke that Mother Nature played on us.

but we finally got visits and spring was inevitably in the air! We purchased a "smoker" went to Trader Joes - Mosied around Tractor Supply and put an addition onto the deck! With Dudes Help of course



In May I had a great visit with the McCluskeys all the way over from England!
We celebrated Gus's FOURTH birthday with Cake and Hats

And Dude hunted Bee's




The flowers began to bloom on the compound and there was hope that the winter months were finally behind us.

In June the Bruins won the Stanley Cup and Geoff and I sat in awe to see it finally happen. The Dynasty is born.

nuff said for June!!

In July we had our annual FOURTH-A-PALOOZA event decked out in full hand made Bruins gear..

Our Stanley CUP!


Geoff in his Bruins Shirt and Utili-Kilt


Matt and I at the Keg - Full poodle skirt and Shirt!

We said goodbye to Muss-Man

We Celebrated Harrison's Birthday at the Beach!! And ate Pizza!

Oh Yeah and it was LIKE 100 Degrees with HIGH humidity for over a solid WEEK!!


In August April came to live on the Compound, I was half way to finishing INSANITY before our vacation to CAMP!! But not before we got hit with Hurricane Irene!

In September - My Niece Cayla Beanbean got Marhied.

I completed the INSANITY PROGRAM and started running!!!

We went to CAMP with amazing friends





and had the best time!! We even celebrated an Early Thanksgiving Dinner together canned cranberry sauce and all!

In November - Otto aka DOUGLAS came home.



I canned like a MoFo!!



Rita and Phyllis hit the Boston Wine Tasting


And my Sister and I ran in the Portsmouth Turkey Trot 5K race on Thanksgiving Day



To close out the year!!! In December Erik shot his first bird, duck hunting with Geoff and The Dude


Geoff celebrated Birthday WEEK with all kinds of crazy goodness.

I crafted and sewed like a sweat shop to make Jammie bottoms for everyone! We celebrated Christmas Eve at my parents house..

My Mom Made this AWESOME HAT

I made these awesome Jammie Bottoms!!

Aaron and I had a photo opp!

And we saw NuNu working on the train to wish him a Merry Christmas!!

Christmas day was Christmas TriFectahhh! with celebrations at all three houses on the compound.
