Celebration By Threes Start Off The New Year


The bombs (fireworks) were bursting in the sky as we rang in the new year! Dean was excited to shoot off the Big ones since he has never been able to personally do this legally until now. It was a lot of fun to see, but it was below freezing so we could not do it too long. This was our first celebration of the year, Happy 2010!


Edie's birthday came, and once again brought out the bright lights. Not in the sky, but on the cake to ring in her 33rd year! The day was a delight talking to and being with the ones she loves. The letters, phone calls, and emails throughout the week made it even more of a treat.
This was our second celebration of the year, Happy 33rd!


The bright lights are seen once again for a third time. Not in the sky, not on a cake, but on a screen as we announce and ring in #3. Come the end of July there will be three little ones in our home. We are excited and feel very blessed. This was our third celebration of the year, Happy #3!

A White Christmas!


Christmas this year, was spent with just the four of us in our new home. We all had a good day and having a fresh blanket of snow that fell the night before made it even more magical and special. On a side note, this was very rare for our area to get the snowfall especially falling on Christmas eve into Christmas day.

It was neat to look out and see our Christmas decor on our porch, blanketed with real snow

The scene was set, with the fireplace aglow, stockings hanging, presents under the tree. . .
The line up can begin!

Our boys with great anticipation

Oh what fun!


The present opening can begin!





Relaxing and playing are now the necessities

You just can't keep the boys away from their toys


These airblocks were a big hit, making them
into upscale forts


Nala even got into the playing mode with her
present

We all had a great day and enjoyed being together as a family!
