Merry New Year!

Snow, fish, lederhosen, and a living room picnic.

As we do every year, we brought in the new year with the Johnston family. However, this was the first year EVER that we actually left before the ball dropped. It was snowing like crazy and the roads were turning ugly very quickly. But...we still managed to have fun...

The family stuffed Hannah in a true authentic German lederhosen outfit. It was brought back from Germany by Justin's cousin, Ryan and his fiance Allie. Speaking of those two love-birds...they asked Hannah to be their flower girl in their August wedding! She accepted and is very honored! ...but back to the lederhosen...

Have you seen a cuter German?!?!

Justin and I both had today off of work and so we spent the day hanging out as a family and gaining two more little "family members." We got Hannah her very first fish.

The idea came because Hannah is OBSESSED with Elmo. And Elmo has a fish named Dorthy that he talks to...so we thought Hannah needed a "Dorthy." Plus it is teaching her some responsibility. She feeds them and turns off their light before she goes to bed. It's cute...she says, "Nigh, nigh, fisheeeez."

Other than that...we had our annual new years living room picnic...

We cracked open some great new year's fortunes...especially for the events that we have cookin up this year!

Hannah went crazy after dinner, running around the house screaming like a complete lunatic. I think that it is foreshadowing for the crazy year we have ahead as she enters her twos.

...We wish you all a wonderful new year. My resolution?....Taking more photos of sweet Hannah and actually documenting them on the blog....

Happy 2012!
