We've survived the holidays!! Christmas overall was quiet, but great! We hosted a small party for New Year's Eve which turned out to be a lot of fun! With only today left with kiddos at home, we are all anxious for our routines to get started again. However, getting up early will be a killer for the first few days this week.

I don't normally make New Year's resolutions, but there is a definite sense of "renewal" in the air. So I'm simply committing to be a better person overall (how is that non-specific?) I do hope to also study photography more and am in the very beginnings of learning digital scrap booking. So much to do, so little time. In fact, I will soon have another blog linked to this one with just my photography (capturing life for the next year). Check back for it soon!

I have to apologize for those who did not get Christmas cards from us this year. It literally came down to how many stamps I had in my purse. Literally. I refused to stand in another post office line... So cards essentially went to immediate family. Here are some more pics from my outing with Annette. (again, forgive the contrast/color issues - I'm still playing in Photoshop!)

This first one is what was on our Christmas cards...
