Happy 2012

Ron and I celebrated 2012 in our usual form by Attending our Neighbor's Brad and Julie's Annual New Year's Eve Party. It was an awesome 2011 but my start to 2012 didn't turn out so good. I was sick for two days prior and I should have NEVER had some Tequila and Nyquil Liquid Drop in the same night.  Lesson learned. But here is to an awesome 2012. 2011 brought so many changes to the lives of Ron and Kristin, but changes that we have enjoyed and flourished through. Even though we lost my Grandma in 2011, our friend Jim Oppliger and our precious friend Norm Hanshaw, we were lucky to have the good stuff and there was alot.......

* My Grandma Boschen's 104th Birthday Party
* Our Nephew Sheldon Boschen qualifying for his fourth and Final time for the Nebraska State            Wrestling Tournament (sniffle)
* Our Sister-in-law Kris Stock's 40th Birthday Party
*Welcoming our new Lake Niece Bailey Ann Becker!
* Our 20th Wedding Anniversary Trip to Maui Hawaii (minus the Tsunami)
* Our Niece Mikenzie Nordeen and our Nephew Sheldon Boschen qualifying for the Nebraska State Track meet and getting to watch them both compete
* Our Lake Buddies Tara & Johnnie's Wedding the same day as Sheldon's Graduation - now THAT was a party
* Our Nephew Sheldon Boschen graduating from Newman Grove High School
* Our Niece Alicia (Boschen) Knust graduating from the University of Nebraska at Kearney
* Hosting our Niece Jessica Boschen's 21st Birthday party
* Celebrating our 20th Wedding Anniversary with an awesome party at Duncan Lakes
* Hosting our friends Allen and Mary Feldman who we met in Hawaii for a five day stay with us
* Watching our Niece Erika Roan and the Humphrey High Bulldogs win the 2011 State Volleyball Championship
* Traveling to Las Vegas with a group of our Duncan Lakes pals to attend Jay and Michelle Markusen's Nuptials
* Traveling with the Stock Realty/Big Iron team on the 2011 Vineyard/Omaha Tour :)
* Attending our Neighbor Kendra Becker's 30th Birthday Bus tour around Central Nebraska
* The 2011 Stock Realty and Auction Co/Big Iron team Deal or No Deal Team Christmas Party

BUT probably the best was the miracle that our two nephews Daniel and Klayton survived a very bad accident and head on with a tree.


I hope 2012 is a good one....as I am praying it will be.

For Seth and Jessica!

I am so grateful that two of my Godchildren always remember me with a special gift at Christmas. I know Jessica is in charge of getting it, but Every year there is a little something under the tree for Aunt Kristin (aka Godmom).  This year Seth and Jessica got me this adorable Snowbabies Statue. I think it is soooooooooo cute!

A special gift to Cheerio....

from his Aunt Angie. Isn't this the cutest thing EVER!!!! I just love it! Angie made this for Cheerio and I think it is absolutely adorable. Angie got the idea for this off of Pinterest. A site which I am personally addicted to as well as apparently Angie is. Here is Cheerio's Christmas Gift:
