with hopes for a better year...

our 2009 had highs and lows. we learned a lot about ourselves and were given challenges to help us better evaluate our relationship with our Heavenly Father and strengthen our testimony of the plan of salvation. we have felt heartache that has made us grow, and love from others that has humbled us.

..our new year festivities..

our new year's eve treats...marshmallow firecrackers!

celebrating with noise makers in the street...
