Dancing!
I can't believe it is already 2011. Right now I am sitting and waiting for a phone call to go pick up two kids. They give us a time window and then we just wait for the call to go get them. The anticipation is very exciting. We are given names and birth dates and we know nothing else until we get them.
We decided to let our kids stay up on New Year's Eve. The two-year-old made it to 10:30 but the older two stayed up till midnight. We watched a movie, played Twister, watched the ball drop, and drank sparkling cider with sweet potato fries (kind of a staple at our house right now). We let the kids "sleep in" the next morning, as much as young kids sleep in, and just had a relaxed day and watched the Rose Bowl parade. We had a big New Year's Day dinner with all the staff and watched The Little Mermaid. The holiday season has been very fun with the kids. With such a large family (7 staff and usually 6 children) it is really fun when we all hang out and sit down to dinner together. It feels just like being part of a big, noisy family.
We sat on the couch for
half an hour watching
a thunderstorm.
Artists in the making.
Cute in wings.
Our baby is pulling herself up on her own now!
Our beautiful 3-year-old!
I did her hair :)
She loved watching the sweet potato fries cook.
She was fascinated by the orange color.

Just thought I'd share some cute pictures from the end of 2010. I wish everyone many blessings in 2011!
