A new Year

I hope you all had a great holiday and that the new year has started off fantastic.  I spent the weekend taking down all of our Christmas decorations.   The kids were sad to see it all go.  Claire kept asking why Christmas was done.  Though she was happy to help take down the candy canes.  Before I took everything off the tree I noticed the two candy canes in the picture above.  I guess this is from Claire's handy work after probably the hundredth time playing with them.

The family is doing well.  Though the sickies have invaded the house.  It started with me and now the twins both have bronchitis, with Garrett being on the cusp of walking pneumonia!  It came on quick ~ first cough started Sunday night ~ so hopefully it will leave just as quickly!

So here's to the new year.  May it be filled with many, many blessings for you all!
