I almost quit. I am behind, I am busy, I know the  main reason I do this is for my own documentation. But lucky you, I decided to continue to update the Whaley Life. One day when I get all the blog books done, it would have looked strange to have stopped at Thanksgiving in 2011.

So here is Christmas. We celebrated it. That is about it.

My parents were here for a few days and then they took the girls to Houston for the week. Ethan worked, I cleaned out a storage unit, shoved all the stuff we hadn’t unpacked into the closets and attic. Then we met my whole family for New Years. I am thankful for the time with family, I always enjoy Christmas, but I am ready for a new year. Ethan and I have joked that 2009 might have been the best there is, and we didn’t even know it. Here’s hoping 2012 has lots of wonderful things in store for the Whaleys.
