Dear 2010,

You have given us one extremely on the go, super-duper fun, yet crazy-busy year! It was a great year filled with so many fabulous happenings. And now, our chapters of 2010 are complete and I must say the bookends to this year, as well as all the in-between, were filled with such wonderful memories!

We are eager to see what 2011 brings to our family...

Thank You 2010 for all the memories you brought our way!

Happy New Year

I love this time of year- a fresh new start! The bookend to a wonderful 2010 and the beginning of yet another amazing year! We get to close the last twelve chapters and start creating a whole new story! It's quite exciting to savor the memories that passed, while anticipating the new treasures to come! And, it's even greater fulfilling new memories with those we love...

After a day celebrating with our little ones at the PTM and a pre-party at a relatives home, we made it back to my parents just in time to ring in 2011. Celebrating well into the very early morning with wonderful friends and family!

There's nothing quite like sweet kisses
to start off a fab New Year!

HaPpY NeW YeAr!
2011...rock this year!

Countdown to Noon

If you follow our family diary, then you know this post was in the works! Every year we take our littles to the Annual Kiddie Countdown to Noon and it's always a huge hit!

Perhaps this year was the biggest yet since the lines were out the door (check the photo below to the upper right corner) and they had to add a 3rd countdown! We've been waiting for this so we joined the crowds and had one grand time!

Once inside, we were so excited to get this party started!

As always, the band rocked it with cute little children tunes!

And the two of us always love the performance...
and dance to the beats!

The other littles sat back, took it all in...
and loved it just as much as we did!

Ceej just couldn't wait to throw his hands in the air,
and shake his bonbon!

We partied right up until the countdown was about to begin...

It's almost time!

We started the countdown,
10-9-8-7-6...

The ball began to drop,


5-4-3-2-
The confetti's started to flutter everywhere!

Finally, we made our way to 1 and welcomed in an early 2011!

We grabbed our little ones and kissed
when the clock struck NOON!

(nothing tops Gavin's sweet forehead kisses)

Even the kiddies shared smooches!

Then, we partied lots more...
until everything was hoppin' at the Please Touch Museum!

These kiddies had one heck of a celebration!

Happy (early) 2011! Be sure to click here to sneak a preview of our kiddie countdowns from 2010, 2009, and 2008...every year is such a blast!!

HaPpY (early) NeW YeAr...
