New Years!

We had a low key New Years... that seems to be our more recent style with baby H. We obviously couldn't have gotten a babysitter and spent the evening in Honololu but with Will recently getting home we decided a stay home evening was the way to go... and guess what? It was perfect! We had a fabulous day at the beach with some beautiful 70 degree weather.  Harper girl is such a Hawaiian baby and adores every moment at the beach.. the only downside is she has become a bit of sand surfer. By sand surfing I mean she belly crawls (or army crawls) across the sand... it leads to quite a mess but is so fun for the little lady. We are looking forward to many more beach days in 2013.

We finished the evening with some Chinese food (I know, crazy) and champagne. And this little lady ended her seven o clock bedtime with a great Ruby and Max episode celebrating the New Years...

Will and I have a couple of resolutions for the New Year... this year we are most excited just to spend most of year together! 2011 was a great year as H grew up for a baby girl to a toddler but Will was gone for 10 months. We are so grateful he is home safe and sound and look forward to exploring Hawaii as a family.

p.s.
this picture is worth sharing... this is our first and last date of 2012! On Friday night we got a babysitter and went out to sushi... (Disclaimer- we have gone out to dinner as a family, etc but we decided our definition of a date is no Harps. Since we moved here January 4th and were living in the hotel, we never got an opportunity to go out alone. Anyway, we were so happy we could squeeze one in!
