Thankfully since my last post, things have improved. The dawning of a new year may have had something to do with it. Not to mention, the rain finally ceased and the sun has peeked out. Hallelujah!
We've welcomed 2016 eagerly and with much celebrating these past couple of days. New Year's Eve was celebrated at a FSU game for the boys and a trip to the nature center for the girls. Splitting this threesome up goes a loooong way these days.
Grandma swooped in and saved the day by offering to take her darling grandchildren for New Year's evening. It was totally unexpected by Clay and I and, of course, very welcomed. The two of us enjoyed the most PEACEFUL and delish dinner. And then proceeded to welcome the first day of 2016 with a nice sleep in. Can't ask for much more than that.
But, when the littles returned on January 1, 2016 it was a par-tah!
We donned a plethora of New Years accessories {and our pjs}. We danced all the way up to dinner with the tunes cranking. If it were up to Lu we would have busted our speakers. What am I going to do with that little party animal? She's a bucket of fun and then some.
I assure you my video camera got plenty of use. Can't wait to watch these kiddos bust a move on the big screen in years to come.
Post dinner and dance party, Daddy got the fire pit going. The temps have finally dropped around here, so the fire was mighty nice.
We celebrated the New Year with our traditional s'mores roast and sparklers.
Maggie has apparently developed a new found fear of sparklers {and fireworks}, so she opted out. Never a drama-free moment around here.
Daddy, once again, put on an amazing show. I'm pretty sure our backyard is grass-less now.
Nothing like celebrating the New Year with my favorite people in the world! We are welcoming 2016 with open hearts and open minds and praying for another year of watching these littles ones grow and learn. And I'll take a side of PEACE with that too. Just saying...
Wishing you all a very Happy Twenty-Sixteen!
