Happy 2011

Wow, who knew that i'd be thrown into preschool planning like a pack of wolves. Guess I wasn't quite prepared for the craziness of getting into 3 year old preschool. Ashlyn will be the youngest in the class, turing 3 just days before the cut off in September. Would have totally missed the application process had my sister in law not made me aware it's all happening now. Trying not to get too crazy about it, just want to find somewhere clean/fun/and close to home. Most of them are done on lottery systems though, so i'll let you know in a few weeks if our number gets drawn! (Biting nails)

Here are a few phots from our Christmas photo shoot. It was SO great to have my grandma in town for the holidays. She is almost 90, and said she wasn't going to come from Missouri anymore cause it was too hard to travel. Luckily dad talked her into it and she got to see Ashlyn for the 1st time in two years, and meet Austin. I love the holidays as it is the ONLY time each year my whole family is together.

Christmas was great, we got WAY too many gifts, got spoiled by all the family time, and enjoyed lots of good food. Austin's baptism was also a special day, and our family filled the church the celebrate with us.

We rang in the new year with my siblings and best friend who all came down to crash at our place. Had a bar full of appetizers, tasty desserts, board games, champagne, and lots of fun. Couldn't have asked for a better way to ring in 2011! (no pics, as I realized that night my camera was MIA)
