I can't hardly believe it...but 2016 is all but over! To celebrate the end of this awesome year, we partied at Grandma and Papa's house with the Call cousins. There were games and food galore! We did our tradition fried fare, but added Danny's funnel cakes to the mix. They turned out amazing, and were a big hit!
Claire decided that New Year's Eve was the perfect time to bust out her new "Pie Face Showdown" game she got from Johnny for Christmas. It provided the night's entertainment, for sure!
Because it was Sunday in the morning, and most especially because we were all switching to 9:00 am meetings, we called the party "midnight" at about 9:00 pm. And we did it like we always do...a countdown and poppers!
What a year 2016 has been! I'd have to say it was a hard year in some ways, but in most ways it was a great year. The highlight was welcoming Joseph to our family...and that was the best thing ever. The kids keep growing, Danny keeps bishoping, I keep trying to hold it all together! And we move another year closer to our family being together again. It's hard to think of another year behind us, and another year ahead of us, without our sweet boy. We all miss Luke so terribly much. But we can't help but feel so blessed, and ready to see what another year brings for our family!
Bring on 2017!!
