Final Post of 2010

Just a few random tidbits that didn't get posted earlier in the month...

1.  Owyn took baseball lessons at Diamond Dreams for three Saturdays in December.  His favorite part was hitting off the tee, and his least favorite part was the scrimmage "game" they played at the end.

2.  We returned to Renee's Ceramic Cafe to paint ornaments.  Owyn painted a train and a circle using his favorite color scheme - yellow, blue, and green.  Zoee painted a "snow baby" and a circle using her favorite color scheme - pink, pink, and more pink.

3.  A cold Saturday found us at the Sycamore Mall trying out the photo booth and the Hurricane Simulator.

Waiting for the wind to start.

Owyn wasn't sure at the beginning but loved it once it started.

Zoee watched the boys do it and then had to take a turn too.
She loved it and wanted to do it again!

4.  Owyn took pictures of both of our trees after they had been decorated.  He did most of the decorating, and he is credited with the photos here.



The live tree in the front room.



The artificial tree on a table in the family room.
And that is Zoee sleeping on the couch.

A few ornaments, very up close.

5.  Zoee tasted her first blackberry.  It was also her last blackberry.

6.  Zoee got all dressed up for a holiday party with friends.

We closed out the month by spending New Year's Eve at home together playing games.  2010 was full of many happy memories for our family, and we look forward to the new adventures waiting for us in 2011!
