2011 Finale


We finished the year off with a bang.  With the company of family from Utah 
we celebrated a birthday and New Year's Eve. 


This little lady is 3. With all my kids this has been one of my favorite ages. 
I say that with some trepidation because it is also one of the most challenging. 
It is a good thing that with the increased dose of feistiness, independence, and demandingness, 
there is sweetness, personality, and cuteness to more than compensate.
And Gracie has that 3 year old charm down to a tee. 
One of my New Year's resolutions is to be better about documenting this spell before it's over.


The stars aligned in such a way that we had a lot of family here to celebrate. 
It was very nice and Gracie loved it.
  

New Year's Eve
It'd been several years since the last time we officially brought in the New Year. 

We played games, ate, danced, and cheered (more pics here).
These girls had a blast!

Thank you family for making it memorable!!
