And here we go: cheers to a brand new year!  We kicked of 2011 at home, with a crock pot of mulled wine, a few of our closest friends, and an X-box dance party that will go down in the books as…laughable.  Our chill little get-together turned into something of a slumber party, and we had a good time making breakfast together this morning and getting out to enjoy a walk in the cold-but-lovely sunshine.
I spent the afternoon putting together our 2011 calendar – one photo from each month of 2010 to welcome us into 2011. Â As I sorted through a year’s worth of pictures, I came to two realizations: Â 1) I have waaaaay too many pictures of Shane skipping stones and hitting rocks with sticks, and 2) Â 2010 was stuffed with all kinds of awesome. Â From our frugal January walks in the park to our May anniversary getaway in Bainbridge Island to the December arrival of my precious niece, the past year was filled with so many simple pleasures, grand adventures, and extra-special moments. Â Looking forward to seeing what the next 12 months will hold…
