December

December was busy busy busy, mostly in a good way. We visited our friends up in Bethlehem, we decorated, we ate good food, I planted bulbs, I made tons of stuff, Lily and I made a paper chain, we spent a couple days in NYC (pictures to come)...I could go on and on.  Derek and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary, hooray! It was a super month, the only bad thing is it all went by way too fast this year. 

Lily has been really into dancing these days...

November

We had Thanksgiving with some friends this year. It was a very good time with good company and good food. Lily was exhausted by the end of the evening, it was all very lovely.





I made a set of stockings out of a quilt I made. I didn't like them so I made a new set.



The day after Thanksgiving we went to a tree farm to get our Christmas tree cut down. Lily got to see Santa, and it was a good time had by all.

October

Sadly I am the Halloween scrooge, but you'll be proud to know I DID dress lily up this year. Big step for me. She was a cute little cow and this is the only picture I can find right now.

August/September

Here are some random pictures from the end of the summer. Lily and I went to Utah for almost the whole month of September, but again I took zero pictures!

July

Two of my sisters came to visit which was sooooooo much fun. We went to DC for part of the trip because my sister had a conference up there and then spent the rest of the time here. I feel like I have more pictures of the trip somewhere, but right now this is all I can find.  It was seriously like a billion degrees while they were here and the AC went out in the Volvo.  Awesome. 

June I think

One of my very favorite people came to visit with her two kids. It was sooooooooo hot here and our car doesn't have AC. Not cool. We had so much fun though, I love her

April/May 2011

We went to Outer Banks, North Carolina. It was beautiful! We had the beach pretty much to ourselves...gotta love off-season. We camped at the beach and in a couple hotels because of crazy weather on our way down there. We had such a good time!







We spent almost the whole month of May in Idaho, but sadly these are the only pictures we took while we were there. LAME! But - Maris did take some family pictures for us while we were there, hooray!
