New Year’s Eve brought a great excitement for being able to stay up late and also to celebrate Mommy’s birthday. This year the plan was to go down to church for the year in review photo show that Jo had worked so hard on. We enjoyed the day of resting and giving gifts (and struggling with the decision if we were going to church that night or not with the blowing snow). After grilling steaks for supper and enjoying the meal, we decided to pack up and head to church for the gathering. When we showed up we almost doubled the crowd there (and as you can imagine we weren’t any too early in getting there) so the group decided to watch the overview while snacking and then head home. We returned home just in time to celebrate the New Year and head off to bed. It was another great day and evening filled with play, rest and enjoying family time.
