11. Top Blog Series: “Round Up”

Okay, so I really only had two series to choose from, but I had more fun writing disjoined round up posts than “What I Ate Wednesday” posts. No offense, WIAW lovers 😛

10. Top Success Story: Thanksgiving

Who knew I was a roll making pro? Answer: Not me.

9. Top Restaurant Experience: Tie between Root Down & Biker Jim’s Gourmet Hot Dogs

You can’t make me choose.

8. Top “A-Ha Moment” Post: Why I Do Drink

That picture is in no way associated with that post, but that margarita deserved some blog attention.

7. Top Project: 12 Days of Cookies Challenge

As fun as the apartment painting project was, I think baking cookies was much more fun. And fattening. Just kidding. Baking and photographing cookies goes down as my favorite cathartic activity.

6. Top Holiday Celebration: Tie between the 4th of July and Thanksgiving

Both were equally sun/family/food/laughter-filled, that it would be unfair to name one better than the other.

And really, every holiday this year from Opening Day to my birthday was just fantastic. Yes, Opening Day is a holiday and therefore, it gets capitalized.

5. Top Sappy Moment: Seeing Joey finish his first marathon

4. Top Race: Bolder Boulder

3. Top Vacation: New Orleans

French Quarter with my family and beignets at 1 AM? Say no more, that trip wins.

2. Top Original Recipe: Chocolate Chip Peppermint Pancakes

1. Top Proudest Moment: Graduating college

Boo-ya!

That might also go down as top most hungover day, but that’s besides the point.

P.S. I think what we learned from this post is that I really like margaritas.

Here’s to 2012 and all it has to offer!

What are you doing New Year’s, New Year’s Eve? Sing it, it’s more fun.

Have any big plans for 2012?
