First, let’s recall those who were there to celebrate with us in years past, but are no longer:

On New Years Eve, PJ and I just hunkered down due to the weather, but on New Years Day, Nicole and Christian brought JR back from a visit and stayed for a nice dinner. Josh and Shawne came and it was Isabella’s one month birthday!
