Moving Into The New

Leaving 2011 behind...

a year with many wonderful memories--

trying new things, learning new things,

visiting new places, making new friends,

spending time with old friends,

exciting times watching Baby Sister grow,

and spending treasured time with family.

Goodbye 2011!

We will meet you in 2012.

Happy New Year from Mimi,

Baby Sister, Big Sister and the rest of our family!
