Out with the "old" and in with the "new"

Welcome to my first post of 2014!  -  Happy New Year everyone!

I thought before I shared the New Year's stuff I'd share the last sunset of 2013 with you.




The sky was beautiful last night.  We'd had a rainy day but it cleared off by evening which was great because we were able to light our Fireworks.



It was a typical New Years Eve for us here.  -  We made our Nacho's (sorry I didn't take pictures) and watched movies.  This year we chose,
RIPD (Rest In Peace Department) - Strange but not a bad movie.  Then we did 2 kid movies,  Planes, which was rather cute and Despicable Me2, also a fun and cute movie.  Sometime before that one was over we headed over to my mom's for our annual New Year's photo. 

Yes we look like "dorks" but that's the fun of it.


We toasted in the New Year, blew our party horns, set off the fireworks and then finished the movie and went to bed about 1:30 am...Then it seemed I couldn't stay asleep because I woke up almost every hour on the hour and finally got up at 7:00 this morning.  -  I think I need a NAP!!!

Looking forward to the New Year and sharing with all of you.  Off to watch the Rose Parade.
