2010 has been full of firsts for us. Since we moved to North Carolina at the beginning of the month, a lot has changed. We're living with Dakota's sister (Randi) and her family of five: Bart (Randi's husband) and the kids, Bartel, Chloe (a.k.a. Coco), Annie, and Oliver. Also, we had our first Christmas together as a family today! The trees are sprinkled with snow, the family is enjoying their presents and the stress of the holidays is finally toned down. Coco and Annie are playing with their American Girl dolls, Dakota, Bart, and Bartel are playing Axis & Allies (kinda like Risk but based on World War 2), Randi is M.I.A., and Oliver can't get enough of Ava who is asleep in her new bouncer, that I was SO excited for. Randi and I decided to try a new recipe everyday to mix in some new family favorites, I'm super stoked! Oh and by the way, I made those cinnamon rolls from scratch! P-r-e-t-t-y dang proud of those. I am so grateful for this family and my own, this Christmas has been the best one yet! I think that between now and the New Year is the perfect time to reflect on this past year, make goals and find direction in our lives and I will definitely take advantage of that opportunity. Maybe I should give up soda, we'll see how I feel when 2011 rolls around. :) Merry Christmas!
