We celebrated New Years Eve by hanging out. I made peanut butter chocolate chip brownies with chocolate and peanut butter frosting (very rich), Dan helped my dad on his computer. Sawyer went to bed at a decent time. Avery went to bed around 9, but we got her up at 11:30 to ring in the new year. In that 30 minutes she had some ice-cream and we painted our nails.

At midnight we went out on the snowy deck to light sparklers. We saw a few fireworks displays (not shows) down below in the city of Boise. It was bitterly cold so after just a few sparklers we were done.

Sawyer slept through it all, and even slept in this morning. THank you, son.
