HAPPY NEW YEAR

We are so lucky to have such great friends to host a low-key and fun New Years Eve party which consisted of homemade pizza, salad, donuts, and a good game of Ticket to Ride Europe Edition. The boys were entertained with some computer games and watching Harry Potter and the Socerer's Stone. Last year we also lit their crispy pine tree with plenty of gas and a match, but the tree just wasn't ready this year. We had such a great time spending the holiday with our friends.

When we got home Connor was easy to put into bed, but Brecon and Cael were pretty sugared-up. I really tried to get them to sleep before 11:45, but when the fireworks started going off it was too late. It really is a huge deal to light off fireworks on New Years and the entire neighborhood really put on a good show. So our bedtime was pushed back a little closer to 1:30 a.m. and getting up for church the next morning was a bit of a struggle, which was pretty evident when in our Relief Society hour we had 6 ladies in the class, and 3 are in the presidency!

We are happy for 2012 and looking forward to all the exciting things that are happening this year!
