Happy New Year...and more updates :)

We hope everyone had a wonderful New Year and that you've all made your resolutions and will have the will-power to complete them. I don't know about you, but it seems like I make resolutions every New Year, and by the end of January I forget what they were because I lacked the dedication to pursue them. Hopefully this year will be different.

Darwin & I have had a very busy Christmas break, but it has been wonderful and we're sad that it's over already! After Christmas we were able to spend our New Years Eve in Park City, UT, at a "cabin" with Jared & Tracee and the whole McSweeney clan. We were so glad they invited us to spend the holiday with them, and we had a blast hanging out at the "cabin" and doing some shopping at the Tanger Outlet stores. I put "cabin" in parenthesis because it was more a ginormous house on the mountain side than what I pictured to be the "cabin" we were staying in. The place was beautiful! Darwin & I shared the master bedroom with Jared, Tracee, and Reagan. What amazed me was that the master bathroom alone was bigger than our bedroom combined with our closet and bathroom in our new place. Good times. We really had a great time spending New Years with the McSweeney family.

Also, I wanted to post pictures of some of our holiday fun. Hope you enjoy, and Happy New Years to all!
