Out with the old, in with the new (2008 & 2009)

We had a wonderful New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.

We took Ava Lu out for french food on New Year's Eve and then to watch the very first West Coast ball drop. She made it up past midnight (of course, a late nap really helped). She is truly a party girl. Next year if we go out we have to buy her a New Year's hat and noisemaker. She was very enthralled with all the festivities. She told us she needed a "happy birthday hat to wear in the marching parade." We just love her!

And, we took a trip up to Tahoe for New Year's Day - played in the snow, sledded and had a car-picnic. Ava Lu was just squealing in delight as she played and rode the sled. Again, what a blessing to share in her new experiences.

Here's to an amazing 2009!
