Happy New Year 2012!

We were so glad to just spend a wonderful night together as a family as we ended another wonderful year together.  Our little family grew in size and love this year, and we look forward to another amazing year in 2012.  The boys enjoyed celebrating the New Year together although neither lasted until midnight.  Here is just some of the cuteness that we experienced this New Year's:




He thinks his big brother is so funny!

















After a little too much partying...



Our trumpet playing, superhero, leprechaun son...he has many talents!


The last few years since becoming parents just seem to keep getting better.  Although every year has had its own share of hard times (don't they all?), we seriously always have way more good memories than bad when we leave it behind.  Let's see if I can summarize our year in just a few pictures (when I take 1000s):
