2010 . . . in review

Every year I compile all my favorite photos from the last year. I take a lot of pictures, especially now that I have an iPhone and can quickly and easily ZIP them up to Flickr and Facebook. Sometimes that means I forget all the fun things I do!

January

It helps that my birthday is January 3, so I usually get to start the year off with either a great dinner and/or a gathering of great friends.

  

Birthday outing: Painting Pottery and EJ's Diner with Stephanie and Emily.

Birthday Dinner: "Burger Joint" and a "Crumbs" cupcake!

Also, I love winter sports!

My awesome friend Beth got married this year, and January found us up to our eyeballs in silk flowers for her centerpieces.

There is a lot to do this year, and a lot to look forward to. But for now, raise a glass of sparkling something, and celebrate the year behind us and the year to come.
