2011 Recap

2011 was a big year for us as a family, and of course the addition of Lila to our family was easily the highest point of the year, but we did a lot of fun things. Here are some pics of some of the things we did this year.

January


We started the year out right with some Arabic food and family and friends.




Jackson decided he didn't care for baby food. :)



And we had Cru over for a playdate!
