Baby New Year

A tradition passed down from Barts family.... Every New Years Eve the kids set one of their shoes under the tree and the next morning wake to see if Baby New Year came to leave them a gift for New Years. Jadon was on the ball. We were up and playing games and thought the kids were asleep and down comes a sleepy Jadon telling us he forgot to lay a shoe out. He was a little distraught that mom had taken down the tree so soon after Christmas but we instructed him to leave his shoe by the fireplace. Later.... way later... We noticed he took care of his little sister and brother too. Now, if that isn't love???Even better news, we're finally in the process of selling the old fireplace mantle in the living room and ready to pick out a new mantle!!! So, that's why it has the under-construction look.
