Happy 2012!

This year we celebrated the New Year with the Kunz family. They have kids that are all just about our kids' same ages, and Dallas and Brandon share a similar love for running and biking. So we were excited to join them for New Year's Eve for appetizers and fireworks.

I'm not sure which was better, the appetizers or the fireworks . . . and both were great! We ate those awesome teriyaki meatballs from Costco, spinach 'n artichoke dip, sausage dip, strawberries, homemade bread and jam, and more that I loved but can't remember right now.




We went outside for fireworks around 8:45 pm, and their next-door neighbors were W-A-Y into it. Even more than the Purdy's get into it. They had some serious homemade fireworks - even some that we all had to take cover for! (Now that's a party!) Madeline, who is wary of fire, even tried a sparkler.


We called it quits about 10:00 pm, and rang in the New Year in our snuggly beds . . .



. . . except for Raleigh, who woke us all up at 7:00 am banging pots and pans in the kitchen because she had missed out on it the night before.

Happy New Year!
