New Year's Eve

We spent the end of 2012 saying goodbye to a few things:

This madrona held a swing when Mark was a boy.  He used to swing out over the pasture until one day he fell off and got knocked unconscious...which may explain a few things...

Revenge is a dish best served cold.

This is the last light of 2012.  I felt a little sad to see 2012 go.  It was one of the best years of my life.  We experienced our first year with Jack, record snowfall, a septic system disaster, a family vacation, lots of cub scout fun, interesting homeschool units, trips to Ferndale to visit friends and family, a daughter getting married, the birth of Lula Joy, fun with local friends, the birth of our first grandchild, and the best Christmas we've ever had!

We are celebrating 2012 by going back to the 1980's and watching Labyrinth and The Goonies.  Evie's opinion on David Bowie is, "just a boy with crazy hair."  We had root beer floats, and everyone except Daniel stayed up late!
