Happy New Year

New Year's Eve we spent the day with our friends and celebrated the way 2-5 year olds like to- eating and playing outside. We made root beer or orange floats and toasted to a great 2014! These boys have become so much a part of our lives...every holiday that passes it makes me sad to think we won't be celebrating here in LR with them next year. 

That evening we drove to Hot Springs to walk through an amazing outside light display at Garvan Woodland Gardens. Our friend Peter went with us. When we got home it was almost 10pm...so we put Hannah to bed but let the bigs stay up and watch the ball drop (don't tell them that it was actually last years ball!) but we blew horns, toasted sparkling cider, and popped confetti outside! Fun memories...and all made by 10:45pm. 

A tradition we started this year was to "let go" of something from 2013 and look forward to a better 2014. I think Ems was something like "I won't poop in my pants." Which I am very grateful...however we have been potty trained for well over a year now. Thanks Em:) 

2014 is going to be a BIG year for our family!!! So many new beginnings for us as we finish residency in June! Update on all of these changes soon!:)
