Happy New Year! {2011}

Alex, Emily and I brought in the New Year in style...

Ha!  I know...I totally look like a zombie...and Alex is too funny!  {the picture quality is terrible...but I love using my new iPod!  And the lighting is bad because we're in the basement!  How can I possibly make myself look any worse than I already do?!}

And of course Elizabeth is wide awake!  She wouldn't think of being left out of celebrating her first new year with us!

And what an amazing new year it should be!  We couldn't have asked for a better addition!

We are excited to see what 2011 has in store for us...but it's so hard to imagine that it will include life with a 9-year old...7-year old...and a one-year old!

{Alex was confused because he thought the ball didn't drop...but I guess he missed it because he was looking at the time counting down...he kept saying, "It's not dropping...it's not dropping..."}

Happy New Year from Martin Manor!

{yes...Dan is missing...he is fast-asleep!  ha!  Unless the party horns and confetti poppers woke him up!}
