Welcome to a new year!

At the end of every year I order a hard bound book of my blog.  It's like a family history or a family year book that the kids can look through and remember the fun things that we have done.  This has replaced my scrapbooking days since I have had kids and I feel great about it!

Well, I received my 2012 book and it's the thickest one yet since I did my weekly blog update and the picture-a-day challenge.  It's so fun to see just basic, every day pictures from our lives.  Well, I started doing bad at the end of the year and have done even worse at the beginning of 2013.  I rarely even take pictures!!  But, I will try to do better so that I have a book to print for this year.

Meanwhile, I will catch up on things that have happened.

We sprang in the new year at Lee and Trisha's house.  I only took a few pictures and one of them that I wanted was a first kiss of the year with my cutie.  This one would have been perfect with the neighbors fireworks in the background... ha ha!!

 But we got one and I feel so grateful for such an amazing and loving husband.  What a great way to start of a brand new year of our lives together!

Jared and Casi were there with their kids and I got this great picture of Jared guzzling down the sparkling cider.

 We all had fun playing with and holding Lee and Trisha's cute new puppy, Bokkie (Boy-Kee).

We all had fun and didn't come home with a stolen puppy no matter how much Bump wanted to.  Can't wait to see what this new exciting year holds for our family!!
