Happy New Year!

I'll post more of our celebrations tomorrow hopefully.  We had a grand ol' time this evening.  But, I wanted to make the comparison post an annual thing.  It never ceases to amaze me how much Gabriel and Lorelai change in a single year!  They amaze me each and every day, and I so look forward to watching them learn and grow in 2012!  Happy New Year to everyone!!!

And because the doggies don't get much air time...I thought they deserved a few pictures on the blog today.  :)  Our family wouldn't be complete without them this year.  (And don't you just love the quality my new lens gives me?!  Thanks, Mom and Dad!!!)
