Happy 2013!

We ended up having a very pleasant New Year's Eve here at the Booher's!  During a yummy lasagna dinner we talked about our highlights of 2012 (I'll get back to that later), then we hung out in the basement to play some low-key Wii games and then finished the evening with an exciting (is that really possible?) game of Monopoly.  The kids wanted to stay up so we all made it till midnight except for Alexis who fell asleep on the couch about 11:15.  

Today was nice & relaxing.  Kyle hunted and he & the kids played out in the snow.  I tried to recover from staying up until midnight!  Then the best part of the day...I left the house tonight...first time since Friday!  We went to Hastings tonight & ate dinner at Applebee's.  My stomach wasn't quite ready for that, but man, did it feel good to put on make-up, some jeans and get out of the house!!!

So back to those highlights, here they are in no particular order:

*Watching the Olympics (Alexis)

*Going to gymnastics camp this summer in Charlotte (Alexis)

*Championship baseball game (Gavin)

*Playing in first Gus Macker (Gavin)

*Going on my first cruise with Kyle (Leslie)

*Purchasing the camper this summer (Kyle)

*Going to Florida & Myrtle Beach for weddings (Alexis)

*New cousin Keegan (both Gavin & Alexis at the same time:)

*Carson's birthday sleepover (Gavin)

*Visit to the U.P. & seeing Ryan doing so well (Leslie)

*Getting the box of gift cards (Alexis)

***Kyle also pointed out that because of a car trip to Myrtle Beach & Missouri, he and Gavin visited 10 states last year!

Finding out about my cancer this year was certainly unexpected and very hard to deal with.  But when I look at the above list, I am not discouraged.  It was a great year, full of wonderful people and experiences.  I can only hope that 2013 is just as good!
