Happy New Year! Welcome 2014!

It's hard to believe, but the new year crept up on us so quickly!  We opted to do something low-key and hang out with Evelyn instead of going out on New Year's Eve.  We did go to dinner with my parents and several of the neighbors that I grew up with.  It was nice to catch up with them and let them play with Evelyn.  Following dinner we headed home where our good friends, Katie and Kam, came over to have a relaxing night with us.  They brought Evelyn a Christmas present, a super soft little lamb and a cute book with a finger puppet.  After playing with Evelyn for awhile, we put her down for bed, and waited until midnight.  At about two minutes til, we brought Evelyn back downstairs, put on a hat, gave her a streamer horn, and brought in the New Year with her by our sides.  She was a bit out of it and confused, but she smiled as we gave her hugs and kisses and yelled, "Happy New Year!"  To our surprise, she fell right back to sleep when we took her back upstairs!  I don't know how we could possibly have as great of a year as 2013, but we are looking forward to the many surprises and amazing memories to come!  Happy New Year, and may you all be blessed with health and happiness in 2014!
