2008 The Year That Was
Wow! Between a mom in the hospital, a family with the flu and the holidays, I have not been able to get much updating done. But, I'm back!
I thought I would do a quick review of 2008 for my girls to look back on. For the Tucker family, 2008 was a great travel year and we have much to be thankful for.
Disney World Trip - I think the trip to Disney World had to be the highlight of the year. The girls had their first plane ride and spent several fun filled days with the princesses of Disney.
Marco Island - During our Florida vacation we were able to visit Grandma and Papa at Marco Island. The girls had their first trip to the beach and enjoyed the plane ride back to Oklahoma.
Las Vegas - Vegas baby! Hot Wife and I spent several fun filled days in Vegas, staying at the Venetian. We traveled with another couple and spent all of our time eating, shopping and walking the strip. The girls spent quality time with Grandma and Papa.
Cancun - Hot Wife turned 40 and headed to Cancun on an all girl trip. Her and her good friends had a blast and I was able to spend several days of quality time with my girls.
School - We made the decision to leave the girls at their Montessori school. Our oldest moved upstairs into the "older" kids class and our youngest began extended day. We toured the local public school but just couldn't see a good enough reason to make the switch.
Activities - Our girls spent more time in tennis lessons and tennis clinic. They were both in dance and gymnastics and both also performed in the big dance production. They both improved in their piano lessons and were part of a piano recital. The girls dropped gymnastics and switched to tumbling later in the year.
Hot Wife and I played more tennis and I joined the men's doubles league. We all spent many days at the club pool and the girls continued their swimming lessons.
Hot Wife and I did not get any golf in together although I did play a couple of 18 hole rounds, the most I've ever played in one year.
Our girls ran in their first mini run, a school fundraiser. They enjoyed their first trip to Tulsa and we got to stay in a hotel.
Events - I started this cool blog. The girls both lost the same top front tooth. We made it to our 6th anniversary in our house. We put on a new roof. We saw the closing of our club house for reconstruction. Granny Ann went to the hospital for surgery. Papa had knee surgery. Cousin Skylar had a baby girl.
All in all it was a great year and set a high standard which we will attempt to match in 2009.
