Happy New Year!!

I can't believe a whole new year is here! Though 2009 was a hard year for us, it was also a good year in which we saw God's love and grace demonstrated over and over again, and renewed our commitment to walk with Him by faith. So, we're not completely happy to see it end. Still, in some ways we are. :-) I am so thankful that we can trust all the unknowns of the future to a personal and infinitely loving Creator!

We thanked God for 2009 and welcomed 2010 with a toast of sparkling grape juice (in the glass goblets no less!).

First earlier in the evening with Little Man......



.....and later at midnight with the others! Poor son C, by midnight he was basically falling asleep on my lap but he wanted to stay up to the new year SO badly!


While waiting for the new year, some of us played Skip-Bo.

And this morning we all slept in and then I got to watch football for a good chunk of the day. Yay!

May you have a blessed 2010!
