Happy New Year!!!!!!

We spent New Year's Eve out shopping using all the gift cards we had gotten for Christmas and finished up with a trip to buy fireworks.  Every time we got back in the truck to head to the next stop Emerson was quick to tell us she was ready for fireworks!  Braelyn did better than I expected her to do with some of the louder ones.  We had some lady bugs that spun around and squealed really loud...she did NOT like those!  We have been so truly blessed and are looking forward to what is in store for 2012!

Em loves the little poppers.  She doesn't always throw them down hard enough to make them pop but learned to stomp on them!



 Braelyn and I hung out in the driveway and watched...I don't think she was really sure what to think about it all!

 Who needs fireworks?!  I've got all I need right here!

 OOOO....AAAH!

 We all liked the fountains.

 Emerson get pretty wild with the sparklers...you better pay attention when you get close to her!

 Braelyn had to get in on the action!

 Hard to get pics with all the smoke!

The sisters all ready for church to kick off 2012!
