Happy 2012- A Holiday Blog Card

CHEERS TO ALL OUR
GOOD FRIENDS AND FAMILY   
Oprah said it best,  
And that is just how I feel about 2012-This year I want to get it right! 
Now about  2011! 
It was a wonderful full year and I loved every moment! But I do like the idea of reliving all those good times and possibly redoing those times that didn't turn out just right! And now I have, if God is willing, another 365 days to do it all again. I can't wait to try and get it right!

I received some beautiful Christmas cards and I always love when family pictures are included. I have enjoyed keeping my family blog up to date and really like the idea of keeping this a journal of family history. This Holiday post is full of pictures which will give you an idea of what my family and friends were up to over the holidays! I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Please e-mail me at donnaogorham@gmail.com. I'd love to hear from you.




Good-Bye 2011
One last beautiful Sunset for the year!

I had to share these beautiful butterfly and Charlotte pictures with you. Right before Christmas Jerren and Pat bought Charlotte a box of caterpillars-they came with a netted house. She watched as they spun cocoons attached to sticks in the netted home. They turned into butterflies for New Year's Day!
 A GREAT WAY TO START THE NEW YEAR
BUTTERFLY RELEASE

WHAT A GREAT GIFT OF BUTTERFLIES!


Butterfly Kisses!

Charlotte named them all and it was great to see them hang around for a bit!


I love my new Chandelier in the Palms!

A quiet sunny Christmas Day!

I love this picture that Meghan took on one of their sailing trips in Central America!

And so my Friends and Family,
I hope you enjoyed our
Holiday Blog Card 2011.
For me, this year, 2012,
I am going to follow the good ole advice of Benjamin Franklin:

BE ALWAYS AT WAR WITH YOU VICES,
AT PEACE WITH YOUR NEIGHBORS,
and
LET EACH NEW YEAR
FIND YOU A BETTER MAN!

Love Always,
The Gorham Family
