2012 in Review

Well, we've had a pretty uneventful week around here.  Other than Chan's first full week back to school, and Justin heading back to work after a whopping 19 days off, we've not been up to too much.  Oh, Chan did get his second report card on Tuesday...all S's with the exception on three areas to improve on: listening attentively, refraining from talking/disrupting others, and penmanship.  No big shockers there unfortunately.

So, I figured even though we are almost two weeks into the New Year, I'd do a review of 2012.  Picture style of course.  Here goes:

In January:

We kicked off the New Year by staying in our jammies most the day...kind of like we did this year

Played outside sans snow :(

& spent 5 days and 4 nights at Vanderbilt Children's Hospital

In Febraury:

Someone started crawling!

And we celebrated Valentine's Day

We got a mini-van...

We got a visit from the Easter Bunny

This little guy turned ONE!

And tried swimming for the first time.

We went to the Renaissance Festival

And Chan finished his Pre-K year with Mrs. Susan

In June:

Chan finished his second season of soccer

And played drums with some amazing drummers

We celebrated Daddy twice: on Father's Day & his birthday

Went to the top of a mountain

Tasted some moonshine (okay, just some of us did)

Visited Dollywood for the first time

And Chan rode his first big coaster

And of course we went through a corn maze

Played in some leaves

Went on hayrides

And did some trick-or-treating

Oh, and someone got their first haircut

In November:

We stuck with the Titans even though it wasn't fun to watch

Counted our blessings

Celebrated Thanksgiving

And found The Koehn Family Christmas Tree

And in December:

We visited with Santa

Watched a school play (with the best rendition of Joseph possibly ever)

Took a walk through Bethlehem

Had fun making A Very Koehn Christmas

Baked cookies

Made reindeer food

Enjoyed Nama's on Christmas Eve

Got surprises from Santa

And that's just a bit of what kept us busy in 2012.  I'm sure 2013 has even more in store for us.
