Hello 2011

Apparently since Bianca came we decided to start 5 billion new (and cute) traditions because we're awesome like that. We decided that to look on the positive side of life and to be grateful for all we have, so every new years eve we're going to each make 2 lists - top moments of the past year and what we're looking forward to in the next year. Bianca will join in once she can talk. It'll be fun to look back at them at the end of each year. Here's our lists for this year! (note: events are NOT in order)
