We had some very lovely ladies join the Mackay-Allred clan, just see for yourself!
McKinlie was born in January to my brother Nephi and his wife Shandie. She is just as cute as can be and we love her so much!
Clint's sister, Angela also gave us a new niece in August, little Amelia! What a cute girl!
And I was luck enough to get a new sister in law this year! What a bonus! Kimberly Gochnour married my brother Clayton in August and we couldn't be happier about that. Kim is already one of the girls and fits right in with the family. Clayton did a good job picking his wife!
New faces....And new places. Clint and I took a little trip up to Niagra/Toronto in the Spring
And then a month later we took our first "Big" trip to Costa Rica. It will always be one of our favorite trips. We loved every minute of it! (Well I could have done without some of the crazy bus rides....)
We also found out in March that we would be staying in Ohio for Clint's residency, so we are already looking forward to the Spring when we get to see more of this guy:
One of the biggest events of 2010 for us was Clint's graduation from Medical School. What a huge accomplishment this was! And with graduation, a new phase of life. After being a student nearly all his life, Clint started his residency in June and that has and will continue to be one of life's greatest adventures.
But without question, our biggest adventure of 2010 was this little guy:
Little Baby Boy Allred added quite a lot of excitement and anticipation to our year. And of course being pregnant for the first time is quite the expireince in and of itself. Its been amazing and hard at the same time, but we wouldn't trade the chance to bring this little one into the world for anything. Of course being pregnant has been made a tiny bit better because I've had one of my best friends to commiserate with, my beautiful big sister Sarah. We are excited for both of our little boys to join the family in 2011.
We were very blessed this past year, and we can only hope that 2011 brings us as much joy as we experienced in 2010. Of course there were hard times this past year, but looking back, its the good things that really stick out. And this next year will be without doubt, one of the biggest adventures of our lives!

Loved the retrospect of the year. Lots of good things. And more to come. Love you very much!
We have had a very eventful year, haven't we? And next year is only going to top it! Isn't it so weird looking at pictures from earlier in the year (before you were pregnant) and seeing yourself without the belly? Only a few more months and we'll be without big bellies again! I know we're both due next month, but sadly, it will take a little longer before the bellies completely go away!
What a busy year you have had. I am sure that this year will be even better...babies have a way of making everything better.
Best wishes.
