And we're back...

Happy New Year, everyone!! I hope your 2010 was full of memories. Below are somethings I didn't get to post earlier due to complications with my blog...

My sister working on something, and me crunching graham crackers for the cheesecake my mom made. (and yes, I was very tired that day...LOL)

My sister started learning how to play the viola at school this year. And, I learned how to massage myself using the theracain. :)

Some artwork by the family.

From the left: An order painted by my brother and a school project by my sister.

A panel wall decoration order done by my brother.

Made by me. 1,000 paper cranes & 1,200 paper cranes. They were a gift for someone.

Some fun cooking we, mainly my mom, did.

Pineapple Fried Rice and Pumpkin pie. (the pumpkin pie is my sister's favorite.)

Halloween flaming-skull apple pie and home-made pizza.

Our pet, Lucy's (golden retriever) special!!

Isn't she adorable?? She is such a sweetheart. Below is my mom giving a little love to Lucy. :)

A big rock and the view from it: nice little oasis.

We actually got some hail earlier this year!

Below is what a heavy rain will do to your yard in AZ... It floods everything.

Of course I enjoyed everything about food as usual. Don't the eggs and sausages look like a skull?

Some goofy moments as well this year. To your left is a little note from my mom saying "airhead Naomi!" when I forgot my dad's lunch at home, and to your right are from when I almost burnt right leg from riding on the back of my dad's Harley in shorts. Not smart. Hahaha...

We had "Toshikoshi Soba" (=soba noodles to bridge over to the next year) on the 31st. It's a Japanese tradition. And the last pic is our latest family photo in a frame that my sister and I made for our dad for Christmas.

Thank you everyone for the support and kindness that you gave me in 2010. I pray for safety in the adventures ahead of every one of us. Amen.

I look forward to sharing more through this blog, so please feel free to stop by any time!! :)
