happy new year!

I know I posted all ready since New Year's, but that was Christmas stuff. This is New Year's and since, so, happy new year!
New Year's eve was spent as has become our tradition - hanging out all together, just us and the kids, and having a movie night with popcorn and treats. The kids seem to like it, and we love it because we can do our countdown any time we want (Josh found the London countdown & fireworks and we put it on the tv) and there's no late night/early morning travels needed. Perfect.

On New Year's day we went to visit Grandpa Sam (Josh's grandpa). It was a really great visit! He was the most alert and interactive that I've seen him in years, since Levi was a baby. He loved watching the kids playing and Piper crawling all over the place.

We're going to get one of them printed and framed, and take it to put in his room.

Isaac bundled Pea into the laundry basket (her pirate ship) and was sailing her all around the house. She loved it.


and the tooth! I love her one-toothed grin, though that second one has just come through, so it'll be shortlived now.
