Ringing in the New Year

We spent the last few days of 2013 in the mountains. I think I got out of my PJs once to go to the store for food and redbox movies. It was fantastic! I read two books in 4 days.

We finally made gingerbread houses since we never got to it before Christmas. They enjoyed it just as much. Cole snuck a LOT of candy.

Jared took Grey skiing and he is doing so great. Tradition: warm up with hot chocolate and fries.

While they were skiing, we were snuggling

We hurried back midday on New Year's Eve to celebrate with some friends in our new ward. It was so cute! We had lots of yummy food and they did a "countdown" and dance party early for the kids so we could go home and put them to bed. I am so glad my kiddos have some friends in the ward.

This year I wrote out three goals to work on throughout the upcoming year with concrete steps to make it happen. I really hope it works! My goals are to increase spirituality, be a more present mom and a more loving wife. I want to keep those three things at the forefront of my thoughts & actions going forward! Jared was happy to hear that I will be tickling his back more often. :)
