One day when I get all the blog books done, it would have looked strange to have stopped at Thanksgiving in 2011. <\/p>\n<p>So here is Christmas.  We celebrated it. That is about it. <\/p>\n<p>My parents were here for a few days and then they took the girls to Houston for the week. Ethan worked, I cleaned out a storage unit, shoved all the stuff we hadn&#8217;t unpacked into the closets and attic. Then we met my whole family for New Years. I am thankful for the time with family, I always enjoy Christmas, but I am ready for a new year. Ethan and I have joked that 2009 might have been the best there is, and we didn&#8217;t even know it. Here&#8217;s hoping 2012 has lots of wonderful things in store for the Whaleys.<br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/whaleylife.com\/photos\/d\/6823-2\/IMG_2296.JPG?resize=400%2C300\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\"\/><br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/whaleylife.com\/photos\/d\/6825-2\/IMG_5153.JPG?resize=400%2C266\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"266\"\/><br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/whaleylife.com\/photos\/d\/6827-2\/IMG_5161.JPG?resize=400%2C266\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"266\"\/><br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/whaleylife.com\/photos\/d\/6835-2\/IMG_5219.JPG?resize=400%2C266\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"266\"\/><br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/whaleylife.com\/photos\/d\/6846-1\/P1050314.JPG?resize=400%2C300\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I almost quit.
