Top 10 of 2011

My favorite post of the year, I get to look back and read my blog from January 1st to today and pick my favorite events.  This year was a hard year to narrow down 10 things and hard to choose our favorite, biggest events.

10. teeth, teeth and more teeth- Landry lost teeth, Read gained teeth, and Bella got over her fear of the dentist.
9. a combined birthday party - celebrating 2 girlie girl's birthday's in a pink room, with pink cupcakes, pink nail polish, hair and make-up, how could that not make a list?
8. fitness for a family of 5 - Ben started working out again, the girls discovered zumbatomic which excited Mommy and Read learned to crawl.
7. strabismus was diagnosed - Landry had to get glasses and Read has an appt with Landry's specialist after the new year for possible strabismus tendencies.
6.  planning the biggest family vacation to date - I compare planning our DW vacation to 9 months of pregnancy.  I cannot believe the time and prep it took.
5. movie productions began - Ben got his first job working on a feature length film working on the visual effects (he is still at Dell, working on the film on weekends and evenings).
4. fitness jobs and more fitness jobs - Kristi went from teaching two fitness classes to teaching 8 different fitness formats; yoga, silver splash, cardio fit, cardio circuit, muscular strength (all for seniors), aqua fitness, aqua zumba and zumbatomic for kids. 
3. someone turned one- too bad he discovered he liked cake after his birthday!
2. a whole lot of learning going on- I cannot believe all of the projects the girls worked on this year.  I think my favorite accomplishments would be Bella learning to read, and both girl's passion for writing and art (thanks to their weekly art lessons).
1. DISNEYWORLD - By far the biggest, most memorable event of our year.
