This year we kept with the same New Year's Eve plan of a family party involving a friendly challenge. This is one of my favorite holidays - no real pressure of a certain specific tradition, no real formal meal expectation, just gathering and fun!

| Happy 2017 From Us! |
So 2017 has great potential! We have a spring break trip in Hawaii to look forward to, more camping, a couple weddings. This year we also have the start of High School for Paige and the last year with any kid's age in the single digits. When I look at the pictures that scroll across my computer screen of the kids only waist-high to us doing things I can remember like yesterday, I feel like time is going by so quickly. But then when I think about all they can do now, have done, and have the potential to do, it's just exciting. And I say if you can say you're excited as another year passes, you're living a good pretty good life!
