Jake's woes. Jake hurt his ankle by falling into a hole on the side of the house where it was pitch dark. Guess that'll teach him not to walk around the house outside without a flashlight. *grins*

Unfortunately I didn't blog in October so I'll post the events of that here.

* Sears Christmas Portraits - we took the girls to Sears for their photos. Here are the results. Jake's mom made the dresses for the girls. They are adorable.

Well there you have it folks, the 2010 year in review. I hope you weren't too bored with all my rambling but hope you enjoyed the pictures and the re-cap. I am going to try harder to post at least once a month. Especially now that Aiden has started preschool which is an exciting time for her right.

Aiden, Kyra, Jake and myself hope you all had a Very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year!!! Hello 2011. See you next blog.
