Well, Happy New Year.

We rang in New Year’s Eve last night at Pop and Gramm’s house.

Pop grilled us steak for dinner and then we all toasted each other Welch’s sparkling grape juice.

H and K, yall had slept over the night before.

We brought tamales over for lunch and then took y’all home when T needed to nap.

My favorite part of the day was that it started snowing around dinnertime.

The snow finally started to stick and then the air turned blizzard-like there for a bit.

H, you went to pick up dinner with me and we found ourselves out in a winter wonderland.

It was so pretty we all went for a short drive around the neighborhood just to enjoy it.

When we got home we did a few chores – and then H, mom, and I did our annual polar bear challenge.

We all get in our underwear and stand on the back porch for 2 minutes as a sheer act of courage and ridiculousness.

It was 16-degrees when we did it tonight.

The years are coming too fast.

But I can’t wait to spend another with you.

I love you.
