Two Little Monkeys: December 2010

of 2010 that is. We all tend to take these last couple days of the year to reflect on the past 12 months and to get excited and make promises for the new year. I am no exception. We have had such an amazing year, and one of my downfalls is that I haven't blogged about it nearly enough (now a promise for the new year). Here are some of our highlights:

1. Spencer arrived! (definitely the biggest highlight!)
2. We gained two sister-in-laws/aunts
3. Uncle Brandt took a job in Portsmouth, NH
4. A family ski trip to Breckenridge
5. A Kyly & Tim only trip to LA to visit Mike
6. We finished the basement -- ahhhh, a toy room for Anderson/Spencer!

When I think of 2011 the first words that come to mind are ORGANIZE & ENJOY. I realize that while raising kids my house will never be as organized as I would like, however, I can keep trying to get close. More items keep coming in before I'm able to remove/store old ones. Another word for 2011 - PURGE. Since I won't be pregnant in 2011, I'm hoping to ENJOY more adult activities - like traveling and wine. We have a couple trips in the queue, starting with Chicago in January. Of course, I also need to be sure to sit back and ENJOY my boys as well. Plenty of walks, books, snuggles, tickles, watermelon and swims are in the plans. I would also like to learn at least 2 new things in the new year. My thoughts so far are crochet and pie-making. (sad I know, I've never made a REAL homemade pie)

Here are some pictures from December -- we had such a great month! See the college for all our Christmas pictures!

Happy New Year!
