December 31

Well it is official December 31, 2010.  I have made it all the way through my 365 Blog with only a few days missed.  (less than 5 to be exact).  I would love to make a collage of all the pictures I took for 2010 it would be very neat to see the things I captured. 

I think that 2010 has taught me so much.  How to love more, how to be more thankful for what I have, how to appreciate what I have and most of all how truly important my family is to me.  I am so thankful for a great year and I look forward to what 2011 has in store for me and my family. 

Happy New Year everyone!

My amazing family

As much as I loved doing my 365 blog I will not be continuing it for 2011

With Christmas over and the New Year about to start this meant reorganize and do a clean sweep of Mikaela's toys.  I got the tree down yesterday and all the rest of the Christmas stuff put away.  Now my house look bare and boring but we will figure that out later.  Mikaela discovered that I have now created her a toy closet.  She was very happy to play with OLD and NEW toys today.  She rediscovered some things that she has not played with in a year and she opened some Christmas presents.  I just love this picture, she looks so small and if you we could only see her expression her eyes would be wide open and a big "oooooo" on her face.  Growing up this was always my toy closet so now it is my little girls.  :)

Matt is working out of town and this is the picture he sent me this afternoon.  I went shopping with Paula and spent my Kohl's gift cards, bought a new purse and boots. 

A beautiful sunset in California

It was such a beautiful sunrise this morning.  I was up feeding Addison and it was just so beautiful out our back slider.  The Law's came over tonight and Mikaela got to enjoy playing with her buddy, Luc.  It was great to visit with our dear friends. 

Just too cute seeing the dad's playing CandyLand with the kids

It was a wonderful Christmas here at the Stevens house.  Matt's mom and dad and older sister and family came over for breakfast, cooked by Julie and Andrew and for dinner Jill cooked a delicious meal.   Mikaela loved all her toys and enjoyed spending time with her cousins.

 She was very happy Santa brought her a bike

Smiles on Christmas morning
