We are very thankful for a healthy 2013, and that Our New Years Eve celebration was at home instead of the ER (like last year). The girl wanted to stay up until midnight, so we gave it a try. Lots of fun with Legos and blocks!

We enjoyed Hot Chocolate and some of the countdown in New York ( though it is NOT family friendly). We decided to celebrate the countdown with the East Coast (changing the clock) just in case we struggled with the last hour!

The last hour was tough (though the Chicago countdown was more reasonable for families). The girl fell asleep at 11:55…and was not happy that we woke her up for the countdown!

This morning we woke to snow and decided to start the year with a tubing trip! It was fun, but cold!!!

We are looking forward to a great 2014, and hope this is a terrific new year for you and yours!!!
