Hello, it’s me. Ok, sorry for the Adele, but really, HELLO!!!! It’s a NEW YEAR! 2016 is HERE!! And we certainly had a spectacular last day of 2015 and an even better first day into 2016. Such a fabulous weekend with friends. We tucked the kids in bed and the adults got to have some fun. I love all of the nostalgia that builds up as the new year approaches and the fun that beholds as the last day of the year approaches. Cheers! Kiss! Hug! Kiss! We celebrated with friends, food, and lots of champagne and far too many hilariously obnoxious rounds of Heads Up. Twas a night to remember as the clock ticked midnight and we sang out HAPPY NEW YEAR!

And we can’t forget the dinner beforehand!! Surf-and-turf – but might as well have been all surf because we DEVOURED the 10 pounds of crab!

Now on to January 1st, 2016!

After attempting to sleep in, but that basically doesn’t exist with kids, we hit the hot tub with a bloody mary in hand. (Icicle photo bomb!)

The day just kept getting nicer out so we headed outdoors with the kids to take them sledding and run off some of their energy.

Ok the adults had some fun too ;)

We even hooked up the water tube and pulled that around. Ha! Year-round use out of that thing :)

The kids enjoyed playing in the snow and building a snowman

Built a fort with Cruz

Ivy, that’s the snowman’s nose!

Festive snowman with his top hat!

Cutie Quinn!

Hope you all had a Happy New Year and looking forward to a great 2016!

– Love, The Kochs –
