We have already started this year out by keeping busy and running around. We spent New Year’s Eve at a child-friendly party which meant lots of laughing, screaming, crying, princess dresses and even biting (sorry, Ellie!). Daddy thought it was important to wake up Lily at midnight and he got to experience what I get to deal with when I try to wake him up… ie, not a happy Lily. But there was wine and champagne and hugs and kisses, so life is good.

Today we made a gingerbread house, baked cookies, painted pottery and built a tower to beat all towers. Throw in lots of play time with our 1,012 new toys… the kids started off 2010 with a bang.
