Happy New Year's!

I was thrilled to have a date night for New Year's Eve with my husband and best of friends. The Fords and Ross' joined us as we ate incredibly delicious food at The Wild Rose, a restaurant just down the street from Daybreak. Good food and good company always makes for a perfect night in my book. It didn't end there, however, as we had tickets for Les Miserables right after. We had yet to see it and with all of the hype, I didn't know if it was going to live up to my expectations...it did. I was a mess as I sobbed through it, but it was so well done, I still can't get over it! The music, the story, everything...amazing.
We came back to our house for dessert and sparkling cider to ring in the new year. This was the best we can do as far as documentation goes with the camera timer...
New Year's Day was a family day and a really fun one! It started with bear pancakes...


I think the kids liked them, no? Once our bellies were full, we geared up for a day outside in the snow. We have the perfect sledding hill right close and we knew we had to take advantage. I was a bit nervous with how Karoline would do, but she let me know the second we got there, she had no fear! She went down all by herself and couldn't wait to go again! Roman was even more fearless as he was getting a running start by the end of the day. Capri was a bit more hesitant for such shenanigans, but she thoroughly enjoyed herself and made so many trips up and down, she had to take off some of her gear she was so hot! We had so much fun that I told Tucker that we needed to make this a New Year's tradition. With it being so close and convenient, there is no reason not to!
Getting ready...


Now GO!!!


 The Fords joined in on the fun as well!
