Mom and Rachel started it with her early on in the year but Lizzy stuck with it all year! Here were mom’s:
And Rachel’s:
We watched the New Years Eve celebrations on TV and got ready to toast in the New Year with some sparkling cider.

New Years Day Adventures: We each picked something we wanted to do today and then we did them! Mom made us “fireworks” pancakes (sprinkles) for breakfast:
We went to a local swap station (free stuff):
Then we went to a hike (Mom’s choice) we have never been on before:
We had some candy canes for energy:
There was a lot of flooding:
We made it to one of the river overlooks:
This little bridge was less than sturdy:
Then we went to a thrift store (Lizzy’s choice) we had never been to:
Next stop Krispy Kreme Doughnuts (Dad’s choice)!
And we went out for lunch (Rachel’s choice):
That was an awesome way to celebrate the New Year!
