This post is going to have no pictures.  So I will try to make it short and sweet.  Just 5 things that I am grateful for as we enter into the New Year.

1. New Year's Resolutions
I have kept my resolutions the past few years.  I have made them simple and tried to accomplish something that I keep putting to the bottom of the pile.  I only made one...that way...easier to accomplish.  No excuses.  This year I have made two.  First, to read 12 books.  I know, you can laugh out loud.  This should be an EASY one to accomplish.  BUT I have had the same book at my bedside for a good, long time now.  The second is to make/have a fire pit in my back yard.  I WANT to make one but I haven't committed to a space, look, or cost.  I hopefully I can figure it out early in the year and be able to enjoy all summer and fall.

2. New Year's Eve
This year we spent the night at Erin's house.  It was a lot of fun.  I don't think that I have laughed that hard in a long time.  My face actually hurt.  I was exhausted the next day (though I went to bed at 1205) but it was worth it.  Thank you guys for having us over!!

3. End of year memories
I have tried to stay on top of the videos, photos, and albums.  And I am CAUGHT UP!! 

4. Weekend Option
It served me well.  One last weekend.  So. Very. Grateful.

5. Colds...go away.
The boys are feeling better.  No more fevers...just wild times and crazy imaginations.
