As we closed another year and opened the page on a new one, we sat down to a beautiful family dinner all around the dining room table tonight--my brother and his wife, my sister, my parents, my son and husband--eating a delicious meal, laughing and talking as we called in the new year and everything just felt right. So thankful for these beautiful and caring people in my life and for all being together over Christmas.
We are now on the mend from some bad colds and flu and are finally feeling normal again! Phew! This has allowed us to have a terrific week hanging around the house, playing outside and checking out the city. (More pictures to come). But for now, here are just a few photos from our New Year's Eve. And some of our best moments from 2013 are on this link here.
Believe it or not, we actually stayed up until midnight and toasted to a fantastic year behind us and another wild one ahead. But would you expect anything less than another year of adventure ahead of us? That being said, I think I'm OK with staying put for a little while longer!
We are happy to have made it to the new year without any more
surprises. Thanks for cooperating baby girl. We'll see you soon!
As perhaps a new family tradition, we treated ourselves to a New Year's meal that we didn't make ourselves and so far the best Indian food in the city--Bukhara Grill on Bloor West, followed much, much later by a chocolate cake from our favorite Italian bakery, Cordi's who know almost boasts our vote of the Best Cinnamon Buns in the GTA. (In our opinion, anyway!)
And the best company too, I might add.
Oh 2013, you have been a good one! From Washington, DC, to Squamish, BC, to Whitehorse, YK, to Toronto, ON. From 1st birthdays to the near birth of our second. And hooray to being together as our little family unit and so much closer to all our families enough to be able to do this.
