Ending an awesome year of Gods goodness and staring a new one

We have had such a great year in so many ways. God has been so good to our family and the stuff in this blog is proof of His blessing. We brought the year to a close at Nana's house with stew and the banging of pots at 8:00. Then all the aunts and uncles and the Slushers and Spikings came over to our house and we celebrated until 3:45!!! The kids even made it to 1:45!!! We finally said they had to go to sleep! Then everyone was up and going at about 8 and we had a huge pancake breakfast with everybody. What a great way to start the year!!!
