I thought since I pretty much missed the entire year of 2012 that that I would use Fridays this year to look back. I cant talk about 2012 without telling about how it started out. My lovely husband turned "40" on New Year's Eve. It was actually 2011 but oh well. Anyway, every year we go to the big shindig at the Ellis house. We were all excited. I ordered the obnoxious cake below. And then the walls came tumbling down. The assisted living facility that Steve oversee's was hit with a terrible flu. When I say terrible, I mean the entire facility was quarenteened. This included staff.
So take a look at what Steve looked like celebrating his 40th. Yep. We decided we could not go and possibly infect every friend we know with the virus, if Steve was a carrier. This man literally for a week, came home from work, stripped his clothes off in the gargage, ran and took a shower and wore this very trendy mask to hopefully protect us from getting it. Although at the time we were all very upset that our New Years Eve and daddy's 40th would be spent at home, looking back it is quite funny.
So what do you do to try to make the children happy and forget they are missing out on a great time??? You play Disney Headbands of course!
I mean really. Steve took this whole "protecting the family" to a whole new level.
Thankfully, I was able to still surprise him with his big gift from me!! I rented a cabin in Gatlinburg for FOUR days just THE TWO OF US!!!!! Never has that happened in 13 years!!! :) He didn't get the flu and we had a wonderful, relaxing mini vacation just the two of us.
It was an interesting way to start off the year but definately one we will remember!!! :)
