Week 52: New Year















We spent our New Year's Eve Day out at the cabin for some sledding fun with our parents. I'm not sure who had more fun on the sleds -  the kids or Grandma Marcia, but there was lots of laughing (and screaming). Miles was always gravely concerned.  We had a soup and sandwich lunch and enjoyed the beautiful winter landscape out in the woods.  Later that afternoon, we headed back to our house to start the kids' New Year's countdown.  They had a different activity each hour, including making cookies, a scavenger hunt, and decorating a gingerbread house, culminating with a balloon drop and final countdown before bedtime.  The adults stayed up a little later (none of us made it until midnight) but we enjoyed lots of great food and laughs.

One of the biggest things I'm looking forward to in the new year is to be done with the weekly photo project!  It was really hard to stay up to date on my "assignments" and after a few months it felt like homework that I needed to get done, instead of something fun.  I'm not really planning any special projects or resolutions in 2019, but look forward to the exciting events ahead, especially with the arrival of our son this spring.  Big things are ahead for our family!  Happy New Year!
