A Whole New Year

Happy New Years to all my faithful readers, I know its been awhile, just like you know I always come back. So lets get it started. Last year ended with some big changes. I left the land of cubes and started a new job.
Now its been a few months (feels like forever) but my training is almost done. I'm looking forward to the end of training but until then I am just soaking up all the knowledge that I can.
The end of last year also saw us moving. We are in a transition phase right now, a big thank you to my parents, but we are working on getting a new home. It's not something that I have talked about a lot with anyone only because we  wanted to make sure things were going to happen in the right way. Now of course we are playing the waiting game. We ended Christmas in our family last weekend. I got to see both of my little nephews. I can't believe how big they are getting. Mini of course had an awesome Christmas. Once again I want to thank all our family for helping us with this.
Every year I panic, this year was no different even though our big family gift is a house, it's not here yet and well I'm just kind of like....well anyway the point is thank you to everyone for helping make her Christmas great.
So let's kick off the Christmas recap with our yearly visit from that famous Elf on the Shelf Charlie.

This year was a tame compared to last year. Of course with the ending of Sons of Anarchy, Charlie took out some frustrations. He also had a flashback moment to the early years of tv with a Romper Room visit. He was excited that he could see everyone.
Then we went down to Roo's family so that we could spend the holiday with them. Mini loved all the gifts she got this year even though some of them are still packed and boxed up waiting on the new house. One thing we do every year and this year was no different, we got our Christmas pj's. We get them on Christmas eve and usually we watch movies. This year we introduced Mini to the Christmas Story. So the next day she was reminding us that "It will shoot your eye out" it was pretty funny. Santa came and with the knowledge of the big family gift on his mind. He wished Mini a Merry Christmas and gave her what every little girl should have. Yup she got a head. It is like the Barbie heads that we used to decorate and style but this was Monster High. She loved it though she hasn't gotten to play with it to much just yet. All and all I think she had an awesome time. When New Years came it was to me being sick. I know it's a sucky way to end your year but even though we played it low key we are looking forward to this new chapter of our lives.
We are starting this year out with a new house and new job. So I will keep ya'll posted.
