Well my sweet loves,
This has been an incredible year. I have loved so many special moments with you, and can absolutely laugh at some pretty terrible times we have shared too. Another blogger wrote about living in anticipation of the memory. Others would say we should be present every single moment. I say, do your best, and sometimes the moment is the place to be, other times, closing your eyes, and hoping that the moment passes so you can anticipate the memory (which is always better).
ANYWAY! What a few weeks we have had, and I am behind on keeping track of it all. So tonight, I will say we had such a perfect NYE.
Hudson, you didn't make it to the festivities, so here you were earlier in the day.
Pancakes and iPads for breakfast.
Buddy, you were "fixing the tree with pliers." Hudson you worked so so hard.
I love this picture mostly because you remind me so much of you as a baby.
I can just imagine you as a six month old.
My girls and your mocktails before we sat down for dinner.
So, this looks better than it tasted. We have made it a tradition to have
Barefoot Contessa Real Meatballs and Spaghetti for dinner. I was reheating the pot just before dinner and apparently turned the burner on high, and then left the room to give Hudson a bath.
Well, I may have BURNED DINNER! This was just the top of the pot and I found it mostly inedible. Oh well. Next year.
TWINS. How embarrassing for me.
New Year's Resolution, dress in clothes that dad doesn't have.
Beat the Parents! Girls, this year we beat you, but it was close:)
Conferring on one of your answers.
Well my loves. I will type up your end of the year interviews asap.
I have loved watching you grow and thrive again this year.
It is truly an honor to be your mom and this year my resolution is to have more dates with each of you.
Daddy. Taylor. Anna. Hudson.
I can't wait to have dates with each of you.
xoxo

In closing, my annual post:
This Christmas mend a quarrel.
Seek out a forgotten friend.
Dismiss suspicion and replace it with trust.
Write a letter.
Give a soft answer.
Encourage youth.
Manifest your loyalty in word and deed.
Keep a promise. Forgo a grudge.
Forgive an enemy.
Apologize.
Try to understand.
Examine your demands on others.
Think first of someone else.
Be kind. Be gentle.
Laugh a little more.
Express your gratitude.
Welcome a stranger.
Gladden the heart of a child.
Take pleasure in the beauty and wonder of the earth.
Speak your love, and then speak it again.”
