On January 16th, my Dad turned 60! So, we had a surprise party for him. It was tricky, considering it was held at their house. We prepared food and all the guests arrived while he was entertaining grandkids in the basement!

2010 Wrap-Up
This year went by so quickly, I can't believe it is over! Starting with the winter that would never end, we finally thawed out in April! May brought the end of our preschool era and the beginning of a fun summer. Allen did a lot of traveling through the spring and summer and started working on his graduate degree in Banking. In August, Keara and Easton started Kindergarten and I found myself at home alone for the first time in five and half years! I started substitute teaching and have kept busy with volunteering and various projects at home.
Easton's first lost tooth!! He lost it right after seeing Santa. He was eating an orange slice and it just fell out.
Keara's first black eye. She got it at recess at school (by accident, of course!).

Thanksgiving 2010
We have a lot to be thankful for in 2010. We are all healthy and happy, Keara and Easton love school and we are enjoying where we live. We celebrated by... eating, spending time with family, and of course, more eating!!

Thanksgiving Feast at Preschool
Our group was in charge of mixing together the corn casserole.
We had to take turns stirring!
We played games, and...
sang songs with beanbags :), and...
dressed up like Indians and Pilgrims and enjoyed our food.
Hanging Christmas Lights
Just one of the fun holiday traditions. Luckily, Allen somewhat enjoys it!
Lulu decided to help too and climbed the ladder to the roof.
Pie-fection
My first homemade pie!
Halloween
Keara- Princess Belle, Easton- Spiderman
Easton giving us 'web in the eyes'
Trick or treat! I think Easton probably rang that doorbell about three times!
We could have gone to 100 houses and Keara still would have said, go next house, more candy!
Easton was most excited about his suckers! He dug through one lady's bowl for about a minute straight saying, 'no, want something better' until he came upon a sucker!
Allen as Spiderman. Thank god they don't make that costume for adults!
Me, simply trying to live a dream! Although it is nice not to have an evil step-mother that tries to kill me or locks me in an attic!
