Out with the Old and In with the New

We had a wonderful New Year's Eve. We enjoyed our time with some good friends. We played some fun games and ate some good food. What more can one ask for. We were able to spend our evening with our kidos and some wondeful friends that we don't always get to see very often. 2009 was a great year for our family and I hope that 2010 is even better. I hope that it is a wonderful year for all of my friends and family who read our blog as well! Jeffery R. Holland had such an amazing article in the Jan. Ensign that really touched my heart. It has helped me to focus my life for this new year. He said, "The past is to be learned from but not lived in." He also said, "Don't miss the here and now and tomorrow because we are so trapped in the there and then and yesterday.." He says that the best is yet to be and that we should look forward with faith for the future. It was really AMAZING!!


Tom and Sam with Happy smiles because they had just won the game that we were playing.
Tom and Lamont.. It's hard to take these guys seriously.

Most of the group - ringing in the new year.
Our family with our neice, Celine. We were glad to have her with us. Parker is so tierd and is not very happy about being in this picture.

Addy didn't make it. She was awake until about 11:30. Her little eyes couldn't stay open any longer.
