Goodbye 2010!

2010 was a busy and fun year for us. The week before Christmas, we went to Dallas to visit friends and family. Reese was a champ, and Ed even upgraded me to first class by myself for both flights! Hoot!

Dinner at the Dream Cafe downtown. They had a small playground next to their patio. It was perfect on a beautiful night.

First poop in the potty (with treat in hand).


We spent an afternoon in McKinney with Heather's childhood friend, Penney. Her daughter Sofia is only 10 months older, so the girls had a blast! As you can imagine, once they got going it was quite loud.


Reese holding her new adopted brother. Just kidding. Liam is Jessica's 3 month old son, who is just adorable. I had to explain to Reese why it was not OK to give him a bear hug around the neck.


She loved her dancing Elmo!


Heather and her sister, Stephanie. Why is my neck working so hard to smile?

Fun with Casey and John

Butterfly towel, or super girl?

Here's to another great year. Bring it on 2011!

Happy holidays!!

We are busy with Christmas parties and shopping. In a week, we will be in Dallas with family and friends - can't wait!! Here are some recent pics of the family.

We had another fantastic Thanksgiving dinner at Kathy's house. Always lots of food, family, friends and laughs.

Reese was a little overwhelmed by it all... However a teddy bear and bottle opener proved to be a nice distraction.


Queen of the pouty lips.

Fall 2010

It has been a beautiful fall in Denver: 60-70's, dry and sunny. The trees in the park behind our house are starting to loose their yellow and red leaves. Here are some much needed additions to the photo blog. We have been trying to take advantage of the nice weather and getting Reese outside as much as possible.

Riding her bike to the park.

Lady bug, or angel?

She loved the cupcakes for Heather's birthday


Cooking pancakes with Mommy this morning.


We took a ride on the light rail "choo-choo" train this morning. She loved it!


Watching the Veteran's Day parade

Anderson Farms

Reese and I took a trip to Anderson Farms, which is about 45 minutes north of Denver. We had so much fun! Reese loved the animals.





Noooooo!

Reese wasn't too sure about the tractor ride to the pumpkin patch. She ended up loving the ride in the "choo-choo".


Feeding some longhorns...

Pickin' a pumpkin is serious business.


Wagon full of pumpkins!!

For those of you who are curious, Reese chose a stuffed tiger and 2 boxes of raisins to bring in her backpack. So cute!

well....

Commentary can't really add to the emotions expressed here. A picture's worth 1000 words.
