Happy New Year

Hi!  How are you?  Did you have a good New Years Eve!  We went to lunch with some good friends of ours from our days when we lived in Seattle.  It was so good to see Stan and Matt. They were here to go to the Peach Bowl to see the Huskies (University of Washington) play against Alabama. We ate at our favorite restaurant Baronda.  Afterwards, I went and did some grocery shopping and then came home to play with the children. Harris took the little kids outside around 8 p.m. to shoot off some fireworks and do sparklers. Winston had his friend Max over and then they went to the church dance. Frank was too tired to stay up which left Roman and I counting down the New Year while watching the ball drop on TV in New York City.  I was kind of glad we didn't have any plans to go out as it was raining and I was tired.  Do you have any resolutions for the New Year?  I don't do resolutions as I am bound to break them a day or laterer. I know so many people were looking for 2016 to be over as they felt it was a hard year; however, I choose to be grateful that I was here to live it and choose to see it from the half full perspective. I mean how can we complain as Ivy came into our lives in 2016 and what a blessing that has been. Well, I better get the girls off to bed.  I stayed up too late last night binge watching Mad Men on Netflix and I am tired. Happy New Year!
