Last day of 2011

On New Years Eve, we lounged. 
We chilled.  
We relaxed. 
We played with new toys. 
We had the fire on all day long.  
We took short naps.
We had a really, really nice day to end the year.

Come the dinner hour, it was time to put this party in gear.  We made the kids dinner (the fabulous macaroni and cheese/tuna casserole) and started the celebrations.  Makenna Claire and Rylan were the first to kick in and cheer for 2012.

 and they did it justice!  I think the sparkling grape juice was definitely the hit.


The kids went to bed at their usual hour (about 7:30 pm), and it was time for us to celebrate in our way.  Lucky me, I didn't  have to do a thing...this was all composed, detailed and carried out by Scott.

And after a long multi course dinner, we welcomed in 2012 and I believe I was asleep by 12:15.  Ha ha..the life of being parents to young children.


Hello 2012...we greet you excitedly with many opportunities ahead of us.
