Twenty Fourteen!

This year for New Years Eve, we had a little party at home...just the 4 of us. It was fun and silly and just what we needed after travelling 33+ hours on terrible winter roads the previous week. We went for an evening walk with the dogs...and the cat! She likes walks too apparently! She totally kept up with the rest of us, and was so happy to follow us down the road. It was hilarious.

We had an appetizer night. Here's the spread:

We played some games, ate some food, and took a bunch of silly Selfies!

We actually let the kids stay up until midnight this year to watch the countdown. In previous years, we would watch an earlier countdown and put them to bed...they were pretty excited to stay up late.

I love the "fresh start" that the New Year provides. A time to think back on what was good, what wasn't so good, and how to improve things! 2013 was a good year for our family and we know 2014 will be just as great! Happy New Year!
