The week between Christmas and New Years was such a nice break for our family. The weather was beautiful and warm and we were able to enjoy some relaxing, simple, carefree days.

On New Year's Eve some of Michael's co-workers joined us for a fun evening. All three girls managed to stay up until midnight. I couldn't believe it!
New Year's Day I took the girls for a bike ride and we found the Berea College's pig farm. The pigs are adorable. Michael has wanted a pig for a long time and this only made it worse haha!
Michael smoked a turkey that was amazing and we had a nice dinner with our friends the Barnes family before they move to North Carolina (of course we only remember to get a picture of the food. Oops!)
This year will hopefully be a great year full of joy, but there will also be lots of hard work. Michael's dissertation proposal was officially approved before Christmas and he's starting his research this semester! The end is in sight! It will mean lots of busy days for both of us. My goal is to simply embrace it. To take all the moments - the great, the hard, the change, the stability and embrace it.
