2012 in Review

So...2012 has come and gone!  I'm going to post a bunch of pictures that cover our year to give you an idea of how CRAZY it was!  Our summer especially was really busy!  So...enjoy!

So this first group is from our first trip this past summer...to visit my mom out in Cincinnati.  We went camping, went to Kings Island (twice!), and the Khrone Conservatory to their butterfly exhibit.











 
This next group is from Alyssa's 4th grade class trip to Harrisburg, PA.  I was a chaperone, and it was a really cool trip!  This was late May.






 
This next group is from July...our Kane family trip to Myrtle Beach (which we are already looking forward to next summer) and our family "reunion" at Aunt Carol & Vinnie's house (and the boat rides).
 
















 
Our last "big" vacation of the summer was our first ever cruise!  On board the Disney Magic, we headed out of New York to St. John, New Brunswick, and Halifax, Novia Scotia, Canada.  Alyssa LOVED getting her picture taken with the different pricesses on board, and Joceline was hardly seen by us as she spent a large amount of time with her new friends in the Vibe lounge (see the picture with the movie posters in it).  We all had a great time...next cruise won't be Disney, but I'm sure we'll have a blast again.
 

















So there you have our 2012 summer in review!  Over Thanksgiving we did go to Split Rock Resort in the Poconos, but I don't have too many pictures from that (we did go to the water park there twice, and that was fun, too).  Christmas Eve was hosted here at our house, but would you believe I completely FORGOT to get the camera out to capture the craziness???  Well, as I said before, God is in control, and He is good...all the time.  My prayer for 2013 is that I will grow ever more to be like Him in every aspect of my life...not just the parts that are public, either....my private life as well.
God bless to all my family!
