We just had the best little time ushering in the new year last night! We enjoyed a lovely grown up dinner at the club while the littles were all entertained at their own party in a different room. It was some of the best fun we’ve had on New Years Eve since bestie E turned 35 (happy birthday, girl!). 
We’ve got a day full of football watching, game playing and cooking planned. I hope y’all enjoyed a lovely end to 2013 and are as excited as I am about what is bound to be a great year ahead. xoxo

Musings
Okay, so I’m sitting on my sofa (rare these days) and gazing at the hole in my ceiling when the chandelier catches my eye. See anything strange? Yeah. There is not just one but a whole pair of skeleton stocks stuck up in there. I have no clue how long said socks have been dangling… Read More
The Polar Express
Every Christmas our elf Scout brings the littles some sort of Polar Express outing. We’ve done everything from the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway REAL Polar Express to piling in the car and looking at holiday lights with hot chocolates. Well, with everything else going on, this year’s event was more of the latter but no… Read More
Our Christmas
We enjoyed a luxuriously relaxing day of opening gifts, eating, playing games, reading, eating again, crabbing at the dock, and then eating some more.
