Happy 60th Birthday Dad!

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!

That was a 'hot' cake!!

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.

New Year's Eve with family!

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!).

Maggie and her cuddling toy!

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!!
