We rang in 2012 at my brother Dan and his family's home.
It was a fun goodbye to a year full of ups and downs and lots of memories.
And a wonderful celebration ringing in a new year and hope for what it holds.
We loved being with loving family and sharing in their joy.
Our new nephew/ cousin, Seth, was blessed the next day on New Year's Day, so it was a great start to the year.
Our New Year's Eve was full of laughter, games, glow in the dark dancing, root beer floats, celebrating birthdays, and lots of hugs and kisses at midnight.
Since their home overlooks the whole valley, we were treated to a gorgeous fireworks show when the new year rolled around.
The kids were loving it.
We couldn't believe they were all still going strong.

Sometimes I love to think about all that the past year has brought.
Sometimes, though, I feel depressed thinking that I'm still in the same place in so many areas of my life that I was a year ago.
And the year before that.
If a year is going to pass anyway, I would like it to find me a little bit better.
Guess that's some motivation for this year.

Oh Shel, I know the feeling. I looked at my 2011 goal list and realized that I hadn't accomplished anything on that list...I'm hoping to do better this year too! You're awesome though. And you certainly take good pictures!:) Love that sweet one of Seth.
I have a suggestion for your resolution list: Realize how truly wonderful you are!
Thanks for the pix...fun times...Love Seth's sweet baby smile...Kids all having a blast...Gpa looks like he had a few too many "root beer floats"!!
Love you---xo
