Sayonara 2013! Its been fun....!

Between broken bones, starting to work again, taking night classes for real estate, looking for a new house, kids, family, money, etc.  Ready for the start of an awesome 2014!

 3rd annual Sparks NYE Party.  2nd year doing the balloon drop and the kids LOVE it!

 Countdown cookies.  Sparklers, crazy amounts of fireworks.  The neighbors bought out the firework tent I think!

 The Neilson's have shared this fun night for 3 years now.  Love our friends and our little tradition.

Party all night long.  Excited to wake up to a new year.  Like I am starting life over or something... on a clean slate.  I like to think so!

We Wish you a Merry Christmas!

2013, decorating the tree

 The boys love it & I am letting go of making my ornaments and tree perfectly proportional.

 Elfie our Elf came in flying on the airplane ornament this year.  He is a great bribe.

Christmas Eve we always go to the Sparks for dinner and have Christmas there with the family.  Its the best to be together and we always have Manuels Mexican food for dinner.

Christmas Morning... these kids are spoiled rotten!

 Presents galore.  Mrs. Claus did good this year!

 After our own Christmas we head down to Tucson to be with my family.  Its always festive and I love to be outside looking at the beautiful Catalina Mountains.

 Lala out did herself this year with getting all the grandkids electric razor scooters.  Spoiled.  Spoiled. Spoiled!

 One by one they came out of Santa's workshop...

 Fancy Christmas Day dinner.  Food is amazing as always.

 And that dessert... My mom is the best chef ever.  Really ever.

 All the Burris Grandkids under the new prized Cheetah

 Palmer loves his Ava So much!

 All the family then all the sisters

The kids love the Lion.  Crazy Lion.
