So long 2012.

After a whirlwind Christmas season, we were ready to hunker down for NYE. I've always thought Dec. 31 plans were overrated anyway. With a neighborhood gathering, we went around the corner for a few hours of food and fun, and were home in bed by 11pm. Couldn't be happier watching the ball drop with two bugs snug in rugs down the hall, and in my own pajamas.

2012 brought us sweet Scarlet. And it had to be better than 2011. That year was a beast and we rarely speak of it.

Looking forward to a new year. Love that fresh feeling January 1 brings. And the pork and sauerkraut!

A few pics from the evening. Emerson and Luke playing XBox, despite the background mayhem. Em taking on a new opponent with Jason A. And an NYE family photo!
