As 2011 comes to an end, I can't wait to share with your my favorite posts of 2011, the most popular posts and some that got lost in the shuffle!  Today, however, the kids and I are driving 2 hours North to our Best Buddy's House !  Our camping cohorts ( pic below, my family to your right, Tina and Family on the left )!  My friend, Tina is very pregnant with her 3rd boy (has 2 already) and I can't wait to share the day with her. The kids all get along so well and with Christmas just passing we are excited to see what Santa brought them!   Be watching over the weekend for my wrap up post and some goals for 2012, exciting! Drive safe all if you are out on the roads these next few days! Blessings
