Happy New Years Eve!

"We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's Day."
- Edith Lovejoy Pierce



"An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new Year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves."
-Bill Vaughn



Reflecting back, it has been a busy year, but a very good year! So very much to be thankful for...

A few of the highlights included:

-Maggie's mission trip to Mexico
-celebrating Noah's first birthday
-Sunday visits with family
-getting all moved
-Robby graduated from high school and completed his first year of college
-Good health
-two wonderful church families
-Maggie's volleyball team's state run
-every day that I spent watching Noah
-Tony celebrated his 32 year as a Conservation officer
-Jordan and Erin celebrated their first wedding anniversary

Last but not least.....
the birth of our new little grand daughter

Sydney Jade Sanders



Whether you are eager to get rid of the old year, or anxious for the hope that the new year brings.... hoping that you and your family take time to count the blessings of the past year, and have a wonderful time ringing in the new one!
