365 Complete!

This entry completes my 365.  It also marks the first time I have ever followed a New Year resolution all the way through. 

I invited my friend Nina over for a New Year's noon countdown celebration for the kids.  My neighbor joined us with her little ones for a little while too.  This is her littlest: Leo.  He is 5 months old now and makes the perfect Baby New Year.  I love his sparkly eyes, his drooly smile, his little boy elf ears.  He reminds me to relish the simple things in life.  To look people in the eye and smile.  To love unconditionally.  All good resolutions for the New Year.
 
It got a bit rushed for our noon celebration, as we all got busy having fun.  After lunch the Leo and Sylvia had to go take their naps.  Nina and my kids played a Candyland game I bought for the party with real chocolate game pieces!  What a lovely way to end the year.
