New Years Eve 2011

so behind on the blog, but catching up on much needed sleep in more important.. so this is gonna be short.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! 2012 is here and we couldn't be more excited. We celebrated with 7-8 other families in our neighborhood. We played games (pictionary & charades) until about 10 PM and decided that friends + games MUST happen more often. That will be a goal for 2012.

We came home, made some "puppy chow" (rice chex+chocolate+powdered sugar), got cuddled up on the couch and welcomed in the New Year with all five of our kids WIDE awake at midnight. We have the cutest, sweetest kids on the planet. I love them and admire their ability to party at such young ages.

Around 1:00 AM Aaron and I decided to pop open a bottle of bubbly and toast to the New Year in bed. We talked about our goals for the future and how blessed we are to have each other and the little people we've created. 2011 was SUCH an incredible year filled to the brim with blessings and happiness. We finally fell asleep around 3:00 AM. Not exactly the most responsible way to start off the New Year, but it will be a memorable one. So much to look forward to in 2012.
