New Year's Eve 005B

Morgan worked a half day yesterday and came home to help us pack up all the Christmas decorations. I say there’s nothing better than starting off a New Year fresh, with a clean home! 

We thought about going out to dinner to celebrate New Year’s Eve but with 4 kids and early bedtimes, we weren’t sure what the crowds would be like.  We opted for Chinese take out by candlelight. 

It was a big hit!  The kids loved it and thought it was fun and special.  Exactly what I was going for. :) 

Believe it or not, this was our first time ordering Chinese since we moved to the desert over 6 years ago.  We ordered from Canton Bistro and thought it was tasty!

After dinner, while she was playing, Grace lost her second front tooth!  Apparently, the Tooth Fairy gives a whole dollar for BOTH front teeth.  He’s also getting pretty fancy with his notes. :)

 New Year 010A

This morning, we challenged ourselves and started 2013 off with a hike up the Bump-n-Grind, with two little ones in tow.  We managed fine and the littles did great! 

We’ll see how our backs are feeling tomorrow!

As usual, I have some thoughts and reflections on 2012 but that will have to wait for another free moment.  Free moment?  What’s that?? :)   

Happy New Year!
