New Years Eve Celebrations!

Can't believe we are once again at the end of another year. Since 2015 was such a big year for us, we had to send it off in style by having a "huge" celebration!! As we have done for the past several years since having kids, we celebrated at home with decorations and games. The kids have gotten more and more excited about this night every year. While the kids were out with Lyle running errands, I surprised them by putting up our decorations really quickly.

 Later that night we played games, watched some football, and rang in the new year with our little family all together!

As the kids, especially Ella, get older and spend more time with their friends, it is becoming painfully obvious that these kinds of parties are going to happen less and less. I hate the thought of that so much but so goes life. We are lucky to have them now. Lucky to have this life, these kids, this family, these sweet often stressful intense moments. 2015 was filled with big adventures for us, especially for the kids, as we learned to live in a new city and make new friends. I am so proud of how they have handled it. It has been a wonderful experience for us all and we look forward to what is to come in 2016.
