Happy New Year!

For New Year's Eve our family spent the night over at Dan and Jen's house.  Grandpa and Grandma Sampson celebrated at home by enjoying the quietness and going to bed early.  Glade had to work New Year's Eve but he got to come home early at least a couple of hours before the new year rolled in.  The older kids managed to stay up, but the younger kids didn't quite make it. All in all we had a good time.
