Thank God it's 2013!

We made an extra pork roast for extra good luck this year. Because it's coming.

Good things are coming this year.

The extra pork was also good because I had two carnivorous Adopted Daughters to feed New Year's Eve, and the group of us made fast work of the thing before midnight, in addition to the shrimp and fruit and fruit and fruit and... chocolate and caramel dip for fruit.




We've reached the point in life where the kids really want to spend special occasions like this with their own friends - which is great for us, since we love their friends as much as they do. They are wacky and silly and smart and sweet and so so much fun to have around.

They complete our family in a way none of us ever expected, and we're so blessed to have them in our daily lives.   

Apparently my head was also on the menu.

 

 



 

So, so grateful for the family we've created, biological and otherwise - and for all the good fortune coming our way in 2013.  Happy New Year!
