my hard work paide off. she looked great, wasn't thrilled with the hood though.

December: Liv's second, but definitley, most fun Christmas!
2010 was filled with a lot of firsts, a lot of happiness, and was not lacking in dissapointment and grief. 2010 has been my most trying year yet.
I've lost a best friend. This is something that I will think of every day for the rest of my life.
I've gained a husband and a family.
We moved to Calgary.
I've learned to value and appreciate my friends and family.
I'm hoping that 2011 is filled with a little less heartache and I'm looking forward to Pat and my bright future and building a home together.
Love the Christmas picture and so glad you guys are finally together as a family, all in the same place! :)
