End of another year!

We wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We hope everyone enjoyed 2010 and has already thought of the resolutions for 2011! One of mine will be to update the blog regularly. Over the last 12 months, we have made fantastic memories, shared tears of joy and sadness along the way, and have been extremely blessed by the hand of God. A look back at 2010 for the Gardner's.

Jason and I were so exhausted at the start of the new year that we didn't even watch the ball drop for 2010! It was a sign of we are getting old LOL! We celebrated friends and families birthdays, engagements, anniversaries, weddings, and even had a few tricks up our sleeves.

Savannah was born on March 23rd by a scheduled csection and she weighed in at a whopping 8lbs 13oz. When we brought her home, she weighed 8lbs 10oz. So much for losing a little weight. She is our very own CHUB a LUB (is what I call her) and such a sweet baby! She has been really good for us and has slept all night since 3 weeks. She is stubborn as hell and only cries when she is hungry or tired! Imagine that.

Kennedy also has excelled really well. The tubes that are in her ears are really working perfectly and we are showing no signs of issues there. After taking the summer off, we moved Kennedy to an "in-home" daycare/school with kids her age and older. There are only 7 kids total (including Savannah) and Kennedy is learning so much. At age 2, she is potty trained, she can count to 10, she knows her colors and her body parts, and her vocabulary is beyond amazing. I am a proud mama and it may sound like bragging, but this was at her 2 year old checkup and her pediatrician's words, not mine.

We have received emails from Santa, I had a 30th birthday, I got my job back teaching 6th grade math at Hobbs Middle School, we took our first family trip to Walt Disney World and even saw Shamu. We saw old friends, hung out with new friends and even watched Audrey graduate with her Masters degree this December. We have had an amazing year and we can't wait to see what 2011 has in store for us. Here are a few pictures of what we have done this year!

We hope you enjoy looking through a few of our candid photos for the 2010 year. I will try to post the Christmas photos soon as I need to get them off of the camera. We hope everyone had a fabulous year, a Merry Christmas and will have a Happy New Year. May 2011 be a blessed year for you and yours!
