Happy New Year!

We greeted 2012 the best way we knew how....with our grandson!  We roasted marshmallows, played in the "enchanted forest" in the dark (I did have a small flashlight clipped to the bill of his hat for about 15 seconds "off" he says (so I clipped it to the hood of his sweatshirt so I could still find him...sneaky Mimi!). 

The half-moon gave off a lot of light and it was a beautiful evening.  We layed right down in the pasture with him snuggled up to me and enjoyed looking at the moon and the stars.  A moment I want to remember forever.

Perfect evening to chill and just enjoy each other.  Goodnight Moon!

I'm hoping this will be a yearly tradition.  But then, I hope we do this throughout the year too.  I have great memories of lying on my Grandma Kennedy's bed looking out the window with her.  We saw all the cars on the hwy making their way to Sioux City I suppose.  I am so thankful my grandma took the time to just be with me...looking at the stars, sky, and cars.  A memory I'll cherish forever.

I hope 2012 will be a year of memories to cherish forever.  Our newest member of the family will be arriving soon...well, maybe seven more weeks or so!  I can't wait to meet Ms. Kate...she will definitely be loved and welcomed!
