Way back to Thanksgiving 2010

I'm a loser. Here we are in Feb 2011 and here are my pics from Thanksgiving =)

The holidays 2010

We have so much to catch up on...its overwhelming. Once I download the 3000 pictures from my camera I will probably just do a mostly picture post to catch up on the many events....
December was such an amazing blur.... Hawaii for 10 days, Arizona with all 5 of my sibs for Christmas, New Years Eve and Day at the Tournament of Roses Parade....Joel started full-time walking (as opposed to the 2-3 steps he was taking previously) and Shane broke both bones in his arm while we were in Hawaii. January is going to seem so slow in comparison. Luckily we have plenty of reality to keep us busy.... Picture update coming soon....
