Goodbye to 2015

“And now we welcome the new year, full of things that have never been”
― Rainer Maria Rilke

We said good-bye to 2015 in the best way possible – surrounded by best friends. The end of the year handed us some bad news and crashing McGuire family weekend at the ranch seemed to be the best way to move forward. Unsurprisingly, this clan was welcoming, loving and treated us like family.

There were plenty of cousins to play with and Miss O jumped right in. She was especially smitten with baby Sofia and “helped” Aunt Meghan all weekend!  (Thankfully Aunt Meghan was a great sport.  At one point I heard Meghan say that she needed to change Sofia's poopy diaper.  Olivia asked to help and Meghan suggested it was probably better if she did it alone.  In response, Olivia asked "Well, can I watch you?"  This one is in the making for a great little mamma!) 

Don't worry - she didn't forget about her first baby.  Baby Win got lots of loving too!

Of course, “Uncle Bye-Bye” provided lots of entertainment for his favorite boys.

We read, played in the tent, ate good food, went on a hayride and enjoyed some fireworks

(They are yelling at me here to "go away pookie")

And, we continued our annual Harris-Olivia new year's video. We are so glad that the kids enjoy this as much as we do and their true silly personalities come out!

In many ways, 2015 was a great year.  Matt, Olivia and I have found our stride as a little family of 3,  we took some great trips, learned a lot, and had tons of fun together with friends and family.  There were a few set-backs but we are so very grateful for all the blessings we have and are excited to see what 2016 has in store for us!
