Crowder 2010 highlights.

It has been fun recapping our past year with the kids. We reminisced over the last year on New Years Eve with the kids.  We all agreed it was a great year we are thankful for how full it has been. 

There are some main highlights that seem to stand out more in the forefront of our faves in 2010, but there are the sweet, little details and memories that I don't want to forget as we casually enter another year. All our children a year older, leaving another season of their childhood behind.  I love the "BIG" moments but some of the smaller, sweeter moments are what really makes me smile as I recall our last year.  Life is sweet, every detail!

So....Peace out 2010!  We anticipate and gratefully participate in the history making of a new year.
