Happy New Year!

 This past week we've been playing hard.

 Stirring up some natural beauty products we've wanted to try for a while now.

 Then, word got out that there was only one more day of this unplanned, unscheduled, unfocused bliss.  They built a fort to hide from reality...

 Then we decided to all play hard that one more day. 

(The blur at the bottom of the pic is Sophie's remote control helicopter with Daddy at the control for the first time.)

We baked "cut out cookies" (the Christmas baking we didn't get around to.)

We heaped on the icing and washed it down with hot chocolate.

 Movies were watched late into the night as we "camped out" to bring in the new year.

 Sophie and Haleigh both pushed through sleepiness for their first experience of the big count down.

What a way to say good-bye to 2012 and 

HELLO 2013!

Happy New Year!! 

 We pray no matter what this new year brings we will see it as blessings that draw us closer and more in love with Him!!
