Happy New Year! I am eagerly awaiting to see what 2015 will bring….it’s a big blank space just waiting to be filled with precious memories.

I hope you all had a joyous and safe NYE. We got together with several of our wonderful neighbors and overindulged on everything from Ethiopian enchiladas to key lime pie and washed it all down with everything from caramel apple sangria to Shock Tops! Needless to say I need to get back on track with my Weight Watchers program!! I have been attending the weekly meetings, but watching the pounds go up little by little here and there since the beginning of December. I did so well from early September to the end of November….the secret is to have all the right foods in the house and that has been the problem. So, tomorrow I shall gather all the right groceries to regain focus and watch the pounds head back in the right direction.

About this time each year I choose one photo per month from our iPhoto library and post it as a way to look back on the past 52 weeks. It’s difficult to narrow it down to a single moment, but that’s part of the fun.

Here are twelve memories frozen in time from Twenty14…

{Splashing in Santa Barbara on a January day}

{Game truck madness for Holden’s February birthday}

{Cosmic mother/son bowling in March}

{April brought the beginning of Spring Sports Saturdays}

{Celebrating 5 years at Star Dance Center with Miss Erin in May}

{June’s maiden voyage to Grand Central Market}

{July welcomed Auntie Anuja into the family}

{An August day at the tar pits and MOMA}

{Fall Sports Saturdays commenced in September}

{October hosted our first, and definitely not last, Color Run}

{A blurry capture of a perfect Thanksgiving}

{December brought a full house for Christmas}

This year I was surprisingly ahead of the Christmas card game…both photos that I wanted to include on it were done and captured by mid-October and our cards were in-hand by Halloween! I loved not having that hang over my head for the month of November.

The happiest of January Firsts to you!
