Almost all of her relatives were there except for one nephew and her sister's family in Chicago. It's been a long time since we had so many folks at our house, and it was fun. She seemed to like the scarf I made.
At the last minute, Dick and I decided to spend New Year's at Cannon Beach, OR, which is one of our favorite places to relax. It's such a beautiful spot.
At low tide, you can walk right out to Haystack Rock where puffins nest in the summer.
After New Year's comes Max's birthday on the 4th and Daddy Brent's on the 10th, so we are having a joint celebration next weekend. Here is Max with Uncle Carl; they are great buddies. Max liked the penguin I made for him, and it was a fun and quick project!
Off in Chicago celebrations were happening also. Daniel lost his first tooth, and one of the chickens laid the first egg!

Yes, 2015 is off to a good start in our family. We hope the same for yours!

Happy New Year! The celebrations and the family look so happy and fun. Cannon Beach looks gorgeous, what a lovely place to ring in the new year!
Great family pictures, and what a wonderful place to spend New Year's Eve. I'm surprised they had reservations, but maybe it's off-season?
Wow, Judy, lots of excitement in your family! We too had lots of Christmas here, at different times with different people. The penguin is so cute! Nice that you and hubby could spend time at Cannon Beach. Looks wonderful. I've never seen a puffin in person, only in books. Have a happy new year of 2015.
Lucky you to have so much to celebrate while the rest of us are just packing it in.
Your new year seems to be filled with surprises!

Family gatherings are THE best way to celebrate special occasions!
