Year in Review

2011 was a pretty fantastic year for me and my family.  Lots of excitement.  Bringing home Griffin was probably the highlight of the year and buying our new home was probably the most stressful.  This year brought big changes, fun times, and lots of love.

Let's take a look at 2011.

Edited to add:  OK.  I realize I went WAY overboard with the pictures, but it's my blog and my prerogative.
