Once again, I have been absent. The month of December has been a whirl-wind of events. The month started with Bandit's 1st Birthday party. Then I started my new job, and Christmas was here before I knew it! The week before Christmas also brought some unexpected news. My Grandma went to the doctor for what we thought was the flu. The same day she was taken to the hospital, and 3 days later she died of liver cancer. We are thankful she did not know what was happening (after a biopsy, she was heavily sedated, and never really came out of it) and passed in her sleep, Thursday the 22nd. As the family has said "she went home for Christmas." She is in Heaven with my Grandpa, and they are living in perfect peace. To say the least, this Holiday season has been unlike any other. It didn't even feel like Christmas, considering on Christmas Day I was driving home to be with family, but obviously there wasn't much cheer included with the trip. After this past month, I'm so over 2011. I'm ready for 2012, and I hope that there are good things in store for us this year. I pray that this coming year will be much happier!
With that recap of the past month, here is December in pictures:
