And thank you for a house full of people I love. Amen.

Christy did our {family portraits last year}... I had no doubt they'd turn out wonderfully!  We asked her back again this year, with a slightly different assignment.  I asked Christy to capture the relationships in our family.  I have some special plans about how I want to use these, one of which is inspired by a quote from my friend, Jesse.  For today, just enjoy them for what they are.  I love them!

The Results are In....

If you voted on my {I Get By With a Little Help from My Friends} poll, thanks!

This isn't exactly a landslide...

Funny thing, too.  Without even viewing the results, the only dress Jeremy said doesn't look like me, is the one that got the most votes by one.   ha, figures!  So, now I'm in a pickle and wondering if I need to start counting hanging chads!

Happy New Year!

After picking up the kids at the glorious noon hour, we stopped in at Hobby Lobby cause mama wanted to get her craft on and that's what she did!  I'll share the results of that at an, ahem, more appropriate time.  In the meantime....

 We all gathered in the kitchen to whip up these {cupcakes} tonight.  They were delicious and fun to do together!  Just as I'm getting ready to fire up the mixer, though, I realized that I have absolutely NO cupcake liners to use for the cupcake tree.  So, I texted my sweet friend, {Meredith}, who lives almost around the corner and she rescued me with a perfect assortment of cupcake liners.

This is the first of many installments of our family motto for 2011, "More fun, less stuff".  More about that later, too!

Happy New Year!

happy endings for 2010 and our best wishes for you in 2011!

Love,  The Williams Family
