New Year's Day

Today, we enjoyed the afternoon with family friends. My (Mary's) family would vacation with these other families and always celebrated New Year's together growing up. It was great to see them all; we don't have a chance to get together very often. We chatted, ate, did a gift exchange, and reflected on the last year together. There are quite a few in the group my age who now have children. Ashley is one of them: she and her husband have Cady and Emily. Pete is another one of them: he and his wife have Ryne.
