Ummm, I can't believe that it has been almost a year since I put anything on here. I am officially the worst journal keeper ever, seeing as this is supposed to be a family record for me! Well, I suppose I will need to step back a bit and update. I prefer to do so with photos and a few words:) So here is the ending of 2012!
Ksenia enjoying her breakfast in bed--a Sharipov family birthday tradition.
Our 12 days of Christmas advent--we did a different activity each day. It was sooooo much fun, especially because Sariah, Baba, Deda and Dylan were there for a lot of it.
Random, rare photo of me with all of the kids!
Happy 9th Birthday to our sweet Ksenia!!!!!

Sariah had a great idea to make a HUGE poster with all of Ethan's family saying Merry Christmas from all over the country. Here is our contribution--her final poster turned out GREAT!

So that was kind of December in a nutshell. I can't believe I don't have any photos of you guys--Sariah, Dylan and Baba, but you really did come for Christmas. It was awesome to have you here and we played lots of Rummikub, we saw Les Mis, we played in the snow and just had fun being together. We miss living by you all sooooo much. 2012 was a good year, and up next: 2013!
