Happy New Year 2013

I realize I'm remiss in posting lately. Christmas, school break, New Years, wanting to get enough sleep, etc... typical excuses. Here's a short one.

For New Years Eve, we put Kai to bed at 7 p.m. and then built a fire in the fireplace. I made oatmeal cookies with chocolate chips, coconut flakes, and pecans (yum!) while Micah and Xander read books in front of the fire. We toasted the New Year (at 9 p.m.) with champagne, hot chocolate (Xander's beverage) and cookies fresh from the oven, while our bare feet got pleasantly warm in front of the fire. It was delightful.

The Ledbetter House is rockin on NYE 2013

Mommy & Xander after too much chocolate/champagne
Yes, that is a diaper on X's head, and yes this is not the first time
you have seen this happen.

The next day we got cracking on our resolutions.

Xander cleans his rug while Kai studies some Spanish.

And to end this post, a video demonstrating Kai's mad scaling skills. We are calling him Danger Bear.

 Wishing all a happy, healthy, and peaceful 2013.
