a very HAPPY new year

well to think that last year at this time we had this....

our precious three-week-old newborn

and this......

sammy mac, the big sister, at 2 1/2

and exactly a whole year later here we are....

guess time flies when you're having fun.....

reading books and playing together with family.....

snuggling with daddy and geez....

serving up homemade cookies with her grammy....

and ringing in the new year at exactly MIDNIGHT.

hello 2012. happy new years day!

we are happy to be spending our new years day playing with new toys and trains, having tea parties and playing with babydolls. plus a nice outing for the four of us to walk around an art show outside and stop in a few stores before naptime at the manring house.

2012...i love you already.

everyone loves a good train set

we said goodbye to all of our christmas decorations and tree....out with the old and in with the new

CHEERS ....here's to you, and you, and you...oh and you too.

happy new year friends and family. wishing us all peace and health for the year ahead. i'm making my list of resolutions and excited about a few new projects and plans. have you made your new years resolution yet?

here's one more reason to smile.....
