before anyone rolls their eyes and accuses me of being someone who looks like the perfect family with the perfect kids who had the most wonderful year.... STOP.  you must read my blog with a little more detail and it won't take you long to see the truth of the matter.  ;)

things aren't perfect here.  in fact, they are pretty messy and loud and full of mistakes.   

but that is what a new year is all about... looking at the blessings from the past and pressing forward into a new year.  a year full of hope because our Savior makes beautiful things out of our messes.  

WISHING YOU A YEAR FULL OF HAPPINESS GROWTH!
