Top 21??

I've seen a few of my fellow bloggers posting cool New Year's posts ... top ten stories or highlights or whatnot of 2011.  I thought it'd been fun to post my top ten favorite pictures from 2011.  Except that I originally had twenty-eight.  I narrowed it down a little, but then decided it's my blog and who says I have to limit myself to ten??  So here's the Chase family top twenty-one for 2011 ... [in no particular order, well it actually kind of, sort of uploaded chronologically, but not totally].

Love the joy and innocence in this one! [thanks to cousin Teri for the photo]

 

 

Happy Valentine's Day!! I was so happy to get a great picture! A lot of bribes [usually M&Ms], deleted pictures, and begging from mommy occur in order to bring you these photos :)

 

Ryan got a new bike in the spring and loves going for rides!

 

Abby's parent/ child dedication at Watermarke church. Certainly a special day!

 

Abby turned one in April!

 

and Mommy turned 30, yikes! But thanks to great family and friends and a super fun party, it wasn't so bad. Love these ladies!

 

Awww, we's so cute :)

 

All dressed up for Easter brunch

 

We love the beach!! And seeing as this photo is hanging on the living room wall and still the background on my computer, I think it's one of the top pictures of the whole year...

 

Classic. Still can't believe I got this shot! Weeeee!

 

Ring around the rosy! This just says summertime in America to me. Love these kids!

 

One of our many crazy adventures. Yumm, free Chick fil a!

 

The beach again! This time in Nags Head with the Crouse side.

 

What a good lookin' family we are :) Hanging out on top of Stone Mountain.

 

Goo Georgia Bulldawgs!!

 

Loved the halloween costumes this year. Ryan the fireman and his dalmation puppy-dog Abby.

 

Silly Monkeys!! An awesome day hiking Sawnee Mountain.

 

Ryan feeding a cow through the car window. What more can you say to that??

 

 

Daddy and his little Donkey. I love being a preschool mommy. The Christmas programs, while crazy and chaotic, still get me all emotional :)

 

Not one of the best photos of the year, but certainly one of the best moments. Rolling in the grass on a beautiful fall day under the Washington Monument.

 

My sweet babies! hugs!

 

We hope you had a wonderful 2011 and best wishes for a happy, healthy, and blessed New Year!!
