the new year

 Happy New Year! I love this time of year and its fresh start.

We did our normal New Year's Eve thing--staying in and having snacky type foods and playing games and dancing.  The little boys put on lots of little "shows" which I adore.

We normally view the sunset on New Year's Eve from this one specific place called Meditation Mount but this year it was CLOSED.  So disappointing!  So we changed to a different locale and did a little hike but it was not the same.  We're going to try again tomorrow night.

Oh, and I did a project with the little boys!  We made a felt garland inspired by this one on The Purl Bee.  This was such an easy and fun project and these garlands will be great for birthdays as well.
