Girls just wanna have Fun!!

Our girls have some pretty great friends! We are fortunate that their parents are also some of our closest friends.

I love having our life filled and overflowing with our girls and their friends!

I enjoy hearing the laughter, loud music and even the thumps from dancing coming through the ceiling. I hope that as they grow older, they remember these fun, giddy days as fondly as I will.

I Love Your Crazy Face

I love Crazy Face pictures! On a cold Sunday afternoon, we took out the camera and had some fun. Here are the best of the bunch...

The days surrounding New Year's Day were packed with lots of activity & excitement in the Henry household. Todd's sister Paula & family came down from Northern Virginia, as well as his brother Phil & family came down from Ohio. It was just wonderful seeing all of my neices and nephews spending time together and making memories. There was lots of talking, running, game playing-especially Disney Scene It,dress up,Wii playing and laughing.

Fred looks like he's up to something!

Fred & Grandma

It was comforting to have Todd's family with us to bring in the New Year. We've all had a rough year, but there was great comfort in being together and ushering in a "fresh start" together. Despite almost all of us at some point being under the weather, our time together was priceless.

Here's to 2011

Christmas 2010 Memories

I will always remember this Christmas fondly as one of the most special Christmas' we've celebrated. There was a peace and joy that covered our entire day. We were surrounded by family and friends sharing laughter and love, enjoying everyone's company.

We were joined Christmas morning by Grandma Henry & Grandpa Beil, two very special guests!

The girls opened presents and oohed & ahhed over every gift, they are very good gift receivers.
