Welcome 2010!

We had a blast welcoming the New Year with friends. We especially enjoyed playing Dirty Minds where we all did our best to cleanse our minds and think Platonic...which seemed to be easier for the ladies. Happy 2010 All!

Magical Christmas

Christmas is truly a special time with loved ones. There are so many events an preparations that pass way to quick.First pictures of the Christmas Season.
With the pups too!
So much love pictures show...which can at times be deceiving being the way they battle with one another. Thank goodness pictures capture all the good :)

Toby Mac Concert

It was so much fun going with the Preece's to the Toby Mac Concert. He's such an amazing high energy performer. We loved rock'n out to some very loud music with meaningful messages.

Washington - Orcas Island Vacation

We had a great time spending Thanksgiving break with friends on Orcas Island off the coast of Washington. My mom was kind to let us stay at her prestige vacation rental home. The surroundings were breathtaking. It truly was a restful and relaxing vacation with quality time spent together.
Day 1 - Visiting the Seattle Fish Market. So cool.

A family picture with in front of Seattle's famous "Public Market"


Visiting Seattle's Space Needle. Oh my goodness...it was super cold and windy (can you tell by the flying hair?).
Walking the Seattle streets.

Thanksgiving dinner. We made homemade crafts for the dinner table...one being these pilgrim napkin rings with each of our pictures. We all look so jolly!
Ready for a boating trip to learn and see the many islands.

Ladies out on a dock taking in the beauty.

DaCosta Family...yes that is a huge leaf in back of my head that is not part of my beanie.
