Happy New Year

Ok, I'm really going to try to get back into this.....Over the past couple of years, I have had every intention of "starting again" and I found that I was so overwhelmed with "catching up" that the starting again never happened.  So I'm just going to try to look from this moment forward and if I have time to catch up, I will.

New Year's was a little bit of a bust this year.  We had plans to hang out with friends but had to cancel them because we had been exposed to what we think was the flu (and we certainly didn't want to spread the love).  The kids were really bummed, but in the end we made the best of it and headed to a local pizza joint to ring in the new year (early).  They had an 8 p.m. celebration, which left us plenty of time to be home and in bed by 10 p.m.  New Year's party animals here!  At least we did get out for a little bit.  We had spent the past couple of days leading up to the New Year cleaning and doing a ton of laundry hoping to ward off starting the new year sick.  Maybe next year we will plan something a little more exciting.

Here is a shot of us documenting the occasion.  The kids were not super thrilled to have their picture taken and after a frustrating couple of shots with some silly faces, this is what we got :)
