This seemed the best way to bring in this particular new year. Though I am feeling a little apprehensive entering into 2017, I was relieved to say goodbye to 2016. It was a hard year for me in many ways. On the morning of New Year's Eve, with Ryan and the kids running a few errands I found myself all alone with an hour and a half at my disposal. After finishing the dishes I practically ran upstairs to light my candles.
That evening we continued our usual tradition (not sure how many more years we'll be able to keep this one up) of spending the night, just the 5 of us. We played several rounds of our new game, went on a night hike and made our wishes for the new year.

It was really one of my favorite New Year's Eve's. After the kids went to bed Ryan and I started a movie (Brooklyn-good so far) as we always do, but still need to finish it (as we always do). It was a quiet and peaceful and hopeful night. Just what I needed to let go of the last year and start fresh with a new one.
