Thinking back on 2011...

Last year I said no to making a Christmas card and regretted it all year (and not just because of the guilt from beloveds for not doing one!). I was determined to get ours done this year and opted to make my own (sorry Christine who is the most talented photographer in the universe!). I am truly glad I did because at the time I was unreasonably and selfishly focused on the stresses of life.  Making my card and going through the tons of pictures from the year made me realize just how blessed I am.  And how much fun we had!!  I always feel like I don't have enough time with my kids but you'd never know it to look through our amazing adventures in 2011! And lets be honest..the bumps suck but it could always be worse not to mention its really the bumps in life that make us our best selves. At the least they make us more real which is something I personally strive to be.

So these didn't make the cut for the card but I love them just the same...I think they need no caption!
