My Boys- New Year's Eve 2014

Last day of 2014~ New Year's Eve at McBride Castle

Noah says, "It's TIME for the countdown!"
Age 6----almost 7!

Brotherly love. How can you not love these two?

Annemarie & Mommy bundled up to watch the boys do their fireworks.

It doesn't look like much of a show from this picture, but it was not bad for Canal Street.

And everything is better with a Jedi sword fight, right?!?

Sweet Jackson---4 year old.

Annemarie's 1st New Year's Eve- December 31, 2015
2 Months old
My baby girl was pretty tired for New Year's Eve festivities, but she hung in there like a trooper!
She is without a doubt, my biggest surprise blessing of 2014!

Happy 1st New Year's Eve, Sweet Sunshine Girl! We love you!

New Year's Eve~December 31, 2014

My whole life...right here.

December 31, 2014
What a crazy, CRAZY year! I couldn't have believed in a million years that at age 40, I'd be surprised with a baby girl! I couldn't believe that she'd be everything I never knew I always needed. She makes our family the most complete. She's healed me in many ways I never fully knew I needed to be healed. So, welcome to our family, Annemarie Grace, and Happy New Year to you! We are spending our New Year's Eve at home with a little family party.
Even though it is just our party of 5 this year...and will NOT be a late night---I still decorated for the kiddos. You can't tell from these pictures, as Jackson looks pretty miserable---but the boys had fun popping firecrackers and eating cupcakes. I'm hopeful for the joy the 2015 is sure to bring! I'm blessed...BLESSED!
