HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Yesh yeshhh, we're well aware that we're raising a night-owlish monster in this house so it was no surprise that Harper Bear sailed right on through midnight like enn bee dee.  And also like enn bee dee, she stole my main man and my ball-drop kiss SO!  I already see how this year is gonna go.....

Dude partied so hard on NYE that she slept right through Grandma's New Year's brunch!

 ...But finally got it together mid-afternoon and snapped back into action: 1:10 pm and she's already poundin' the bottle. ;) 

Cheers, cheers, and MORE CHEERS to 2015 being the best year yet!  I never imagined how great marriage and parenthood and family life could be until the Bear appeared and changed both of our lives forever.  

Bring it on, 2016; we are so excited to see what blessings you will bring!

Happy New Year, sweet friends and family! :)
