New Years Day 2013

We may have been tired from the night before but we felt alive...refreshed with the possibilities of the new year...a fresh start! We headed in our pajamas for our annual breakfast at Lynn's Paradise Cafe!

 We had a ball and decided that the new year would bring us to the Kentucky Reptile Museum, Oaks, the Beach, and back to the Lake...we always try to commit to a few things and the rest of the stuff we do together is just icing on the cake!

Wishing you love in 2013!

New Year Eve 2012

We actually had our cake and ate it too this New Years Eve! We got dressed up....and headed out for a celebration drink with Brad and Jenna!

 and then we came home.....put on our pajamas and got cozy to ring in the new year with the kids!

We did the limbo into the new year!

 and I was right where I wanted to be when the ball fell!

 Surrounded by laughter and love!

 Cheers to the new year!

 And after Happy New Year was said we busted out the birthday cake for Brad!

 Happy New Year....may 2013 be full of love and laughter for all of us!

Lynn's Paradise Cafe New Years Day!

We headed to Lynn's Paradise Cafe for a breakfast pajama party on New Years Day! We tooted our horns and blew our blowers with the best of them....everyone was happy to be celebrating a new year...a fresh start...new beginnings!

 They even gave us a picture of our crew!

 Jeremy and Brad started out the new year right with a fancy coffee in a cowboy boot!

 It was so fun to be out and about in our pajamas!

 and eat pancakes as big as our heads!

 This place is fun and eclectic...and everybody and everything fits in....

 grandma princesses in plaid.....

 beautiful chandeliers.....

 a tree covered in.... well......random stuff! But it was so fitting for the new year...a tone of.... the possibilities are endless!

 It was fun from start to finish......

 We walked over to take the girls picture with the precious plaid princesses....

 sitting across from them were the Binzers...a family from the neighborhood and XC too...Eva, the mom introduced me to her family...and I was so touched by how she introduced me..."this is Danielle Hardy...the best...I mean the best mom...."........I am far, far, far, from the best but I sure try and her words meant a lot to me....

 Its going to be a fun....

 Star studded.....

 crazy and colorful year!

 Full of Love for sure!

 I can't wait!

Happiest of New Years to you and Yours! 

How did the littles do with their 2011 wish list.....

Last year I asked the littles what whey wanted for the new year...goals they had....things they wanted to do...and they each told me 2 things...so how did they do?

Riggs wanted to get his mile time in the 5's even if it was 5:59......and he did it...he did a mile in 5:57 this year!

and he wanted to go to Incredible Daves....and he did that too!

Rollins wanted to work on his multiplication tables...and he did that for sure! In fact he is rocking school in a big, big way!

He also wanted to go to the Kentucky Reptile Museum...we did not get there....but we have plans to go very soon! We even talked about going today...if Jeremy's work schedule would work out to do it!

Sk wanted to learn to swim....well she is not a fluid swimmer yet, but she has gotten more comfortable in the water for sure...baby steps for this one! She has so many problems with her little ears and has another surgery set up in just a few weeks so that has not helped in her goal. She is signed up for swim lesson in February to get her all the way ready for this summer!

and she wanted to go see a play....we saw Pinkalicious, Les Miserables and the Best Christmas Pageant Ever! For Christmas she got tickets to see Mary Poppins in March!

Lila wanted to take Jack on a walk and be 100% potty trained! She took Jack on Many walks and I am proud to report other than the occasional sleeping accident...she is a potty rock star!

Not too bad...Hardy Littles! I can't wait to see what you want in 2012!
