A year in review:

January:
Leena got caterpillars on her butt.
We discovered a new park.

We visited plantations.
We accessorized.

February:
We started something new. :)
We had lots and lots of tea parties.
We boycotted Valentines day….but wore pink!
We were super thrilled with a gift a friend sent. ;)
We had our first night away from Leena thanks to a good friend.

March:
We played with lots of pinwheels.
We picked our nose under a false identity.
We went overboard for Saint Patrick's Day.
We debuted big girl panties.
We thought it was a good idea to put a pillow case over our head and run full speed out of the room right into the corner of a table.
We dressed little boys up in girls glasses…and he rocked them!
We walked barefoot in the sand.
We fully enjoyed our daddy.
We baked.

April:
We gave the living room a new look.
We had friends visit.
We turned two.
We hunted for eggs.
We took photos on film.

May:
I photographed my first wedding.

For a very good friend.



And was super professional.

June
Surprisingly…no photos taken in June!

July:
We celebrated 4th with friends.
And shared hooping with a great friend.
We met a wonderfully beautiful couple after a long time coming!


August:
We planted.
We decided to sleep in the hall for a few weeks.
We played with a new reflector.
And bunny friends.
We embraced the hippie inside.

September:
We formed a new obsession.
We looked for fall.
We formed new friendships…with a girl that stabs you with needles.
We cloud watched.
We went on dates with a gorgeous husband.
Wearing a gorgeous dress.
We picked our noses some more as Clark Kent this time.
We watched many sunsets.

October:
We started a new project again.
We picked perfect pumpkins as a family.
We soaked up the sunset for fashion week with a stray that adopted us.
We had rockstar hair.
And beautiful windswept hair.
We had another little kitty for Halloween.

November:
We lit candles and sent good thoughts and prayers to a friend in need.
We gave ourselves tortilla facials at Auntie Kimmy's house.
We caught up with friends again on the way to Auntie Kimmy's.
We found a wigwam.
We played around with auntie before a 3 year old's soccer game.
We finally went back to a normal color of hair.
We were honored to take photos of such a beautiful lady and friend.
We got out of control on our Christmas card.

December:
We ate sushi on the way home from getting our Christmas tree.
We cleansed.
We played architect with candy and all sorts of unhealthy things.
We had meltdowns.
We got a nativity we've been searching for for years with lots of sentimental value.
We had lots of fun this Christmas.
We took in a mother in law for Christmas and couldn't be more grateful!
We watched this little girl grow up right before our eyes.

And there was drawing:

And sewing:

And now I plan on ending 201o with:
Homemade mead, Fantastic Mr. Fox, shrimp cocktail, risotto and...
this man responsible for making the mead and for making me a very happy girl.

Peace and Love and Happy 2011!
Be safe and have fun!
P.S. This is what his mead label I made looks like:
I couldn't resist the bunting again. Yes, it's an addiction.
