I can honestly that I had a really great New Year's Eve and a pretty uneventful New Year's Day. Here's some pics of New Year's Eve - we didn't do anything New Year's Day because Dean was still miserable and sick. I'm happy to report, though, that everyone seems to be healthy right now!

| Daddy and Danika - Cathy took this picture. Isn't it great? |

| She made it until 11:45 and then fell asleep on the couch! The noise didn't even wake her up! |
Now on to 2011!
I haven't really had time to think about 2011 as much as I would have liked. I've been busy. I know it's a typical excuse ~ but I forgot about getting ready for January in all of the celebrations. I had to spend time writing lesson plans and planning menus and getting everything back to normal - or at least as normal as it gets around here!
Things are running pretty smoothly today and last night was a very productive evening when it came to getting rid of some clutter and organizing some toys! I already know what I'm making for dinner tonight and my lessons are planned for tomorrow. I'm thinking that I will have some time to contemplate some goals for 2011 today...maybe during nap time!
The one thing that I know for sure that we will be working on is getting financially "healthy" so we can start planning a little more for our future and where we want to go. I also want to work on being more organized. I need to get a tad bit more specific in that area and plan on trying out a few things to see what works best and keeps me the most motivated.
The truth is, I'm not a resolutions person. I almost always break them. I do like to work on reaching goals, though. With that in mind, I think I'm going to make a list of goals rather than a list of resolutions for 2011. Stay tuned. When I get time, I will let you know what they are...
