New Years Eve 2017





New Years Eve was a little bit different this year because it fell on a Sunday. You really don't want to go out and celebrate or Party too much on the Sabbath…so we kept things pretty low key and just invited the fam over. Some of them already had plans so it was just Mom and Dad, Jake, and Jordan and Kristee and us…pretty sure that's who we had last year too:) It was a pretty fun night. We played lots of games: heads-up, family feud, Sound it out, Twister, and the name game. It's pretty fun that the older kids can play and keep up with us now. The younger kids just ran around and hung by us..until about 15 minutes before midnight when Tate tuckered out. We got him back up right in time though. Lots of food, family, and fun. Great way to Ring in the New Year. We spent a good amount of time after church with the kids going over our resolutions and goals for 2018. Toby bought them all "Goal Journals" and we had them go over some of the things they are hoping to improve in 2017. It's fun to start fresh. Sometimes quite overwhelming but I'm trying to remind myself change doesn't have to be. I can start small and celebrate the little victories. I have much I want to improve, but so much to be grateful for. I love this little family of mine so much. Here is to another year with them doing our best to help them be the best little people they can be!
