My Year in Review- 5th and Final Part!

So this brings me to the last few months of the year.

October brought more soccer- in colder and wetter weather.

It also brought the end of the season

which made me feel weird not having to chauffeur kids around almost every day.

The amazing woman, Sonia Todd, finished her struggle here on earth, and went to party in heaven on the 14th.  She left behind a great legacy.  She wrote her own obituary that touched many as it was widely published.  You can read it here.

Kyrie turned 10 and had a glow-in-the-dark birthday party:

Then there was Halloween

Red Angry Bird, Green Helmet Pig and Fairy

Yuki even got in on the fun:

November

Love this time of the year!

What a difference a year makes!

We celebrated Thanksgiving a little later this year as I had to work the Apple Cup(Go Cougs!), and Grandma Rollins came to visit, so we waited to celebrate with her.

December

The month flew by, and Christmas was the biggest happening.

Yuki has grown a lot, too!

So, that's our year in a nutshell.  There's a lot more that I could have included, but I didn't want to bore everyone, and I need to do some last minute things before we go ring in the new year at church tonight.  In two more days, we'll be making the journey to visit my mom again and send Mark to his conference in Vegas.  We're hoping that this journey will be one without incident.  As much as our accident this year has brought us together as a family, I think there are other ways we can grow this year.

Thanks for reading!  May God bless you and yours in the year to come!  Happy New Year!
