This year our friends Julianne and Sam had us over on New Year's Eve for dinner and games. It's nice to move into the more low key celebrations as our group of friends are starting their families. Natalie and Jake welcomed their beautiful son, Samuel Jones Amundson, into the world on 12/21. They brought baby Sam over to the party so we got to meet him for the first time. He is adorable and we're so incredibly happy for them. Max got to meet his new buddy Sam. It was amazing the size difference between these boys who are only 8 months a part. It's so hard to believe/remember that Max was so tiny not so long ago.
That night Max stayed up and watched the ball drop. He just would not go down. He loves to take in everything and seems to have a fear of missing out.
With all that went on in the news this year, 2016 had it's share of crazy, sad, and difficult moments. Yet, in the midst of all of that, we were blessed with the gift of life, and the indescribable joy that goes along with it. Spending this holiday season with Max, surrounded by the love of friends and family was a reminder of how good and beautiful this world can be. We count our blessings, and wish everyone a Happy Hopeful New Year.
