Happy New Year!


We all had a great night. We watched movies and ate great food. Then at midnight we had noise makers, poppers and confetti to bring in the New Year. We also had some sparkling grape juice in fancy glasses as we wished each other a Happy New Year. Our kids have loved this tradition, we have been doing this now for 10 years. We started making donuts one year in hope that as our kids became older they would want to hang out around the house on such a crazy night. McKinzie spent the night with friends, but the rest stayed home. In fact, Karlee mentioned that she couldn't stay the night with a friend that night. She didn't want to miss the donuts and chocolate fountain. The fountain we started a couple of year ago, now it stays. Because of the fun so late at night, New Year's Day if very relaxing. We watch more movies, the kids play with friends, and eat more donuts.






Now that the day has come and gone, it's time to look ahead and make it a better year. I have thought about that and have made a few goals for myself. They are challenging but achievable.
I want to wish all of you a Happy New Year! Enjoy your family and enjoy the ride.
