New Year Eve Day!

We had a fun New Year's Eve Day! We played around the house in the morning and said goodbye to our California cousins Nicholas, Clara, and Ezra. That afternoon we drove down to Utah County with Grammy to have a late lunch at beautiful Sundance. I seriously love that place and the food is always delicious. We then headed over to the Marriott Center to watch the men's BYU basketball game. The kids had fun at the game, although Alegra kept her eye on "Cosmos" the cougar mascot the whole time. She wasn't so sure about him. We made it back home for bedtime (on time). The early birds we are, we didn't have the kids stay up later than normal, plus they still don't get the whole "new year" thing. Shawn and I watched a movie and hit the sack before the stroke of midnight. I got awoken at midnight but luckily everyone else slept through the passing into a new year!

I feel like we have been very blessed in 2011. The kids have stayed relatively healthy, Shawn and I have stayed relatively healthy, Shawn continues to have employment in this troubling economy, Cruz is enjoying school and really learning, Alegra is growing and talking like crazy, we have stayed safe, traveled, and LOVE each other. We are looking forward with fondness to 2012, adding a new little girl to our family and continuing to learn and grow.
