So the day after the big bash, we went to the church to get a few shots of the birthday girl in front of the big Christmas tree. Isn't she the cutes? We always have the best time with her. She is such a ham...and a girl after my own heart with all her singing and dancing around. The girl's got moves. Period. You'll also see she's sporting her rad Rock Band t-shirt we got her for her birthday. She's awesome. Thanks guys for letting us hang out with her!

She turned twooooooo! Our awesome little pal (who you probably remember from here and here) turned TWO last month. I can hardly believe it! =) Cori and Steve (her parents) threw her the cutest little barnyard party. It was adorable and the kids had a good time! Here's just a few pictures from the day...including....the saga of the cow. Poor cow. Stay tuned for more pictures of her 2-year session we did the next day.

Oh how I didn't want to get up this morning. Oh how I love my snuggle pug. Oh how I wish I could curl up on the couch with my toasty blanket and take a nap. Oh how I wish I could curl up with my toasty blanket on the couch and take a nap...WITH my snuggle pug. Oh, there's just one problem....... THE SNUGGLE PUG ISN'T SUPPOSED TO BE ON THE COUCH!!!!!

Back on New Years Eve (you know, that time I didn't get pictures...) we had a little fondue party with our friends John, Anna, Tarl, and Joy. We don't do it enough but when we hang out we have a great time. We shoveled in snacks 70's style, the guys sat around the TV like 8-year-old boys playing the new Mario Brothers on the Wii, and the wives club (those of us that were here...missed you girls!) chatted and watched. It was good to catch up and we miss hanging out already. Anyway, to the pink part... John and Anna brought some very pretty flowers and they were starting to look a little weepy (but really they lasted very well). SO, I tossed out everything but the carnations and made two new arrangements.

It's my little glimpse at Spring during these frosty weeks.

As promised, here's just a few of our favorite portraits from the blog this past year. We had a great year and want to thank all of you for the good times! We're so looking forward to what 2010 is bringing!
