I
spent my New Year’s Eve under a blanket of stars with the most incredible group
of people. There was laughing, dancing and just enough cricket noise to help
you sleep soundly (if you were one of the ones who took three Benadryl before

have no idea what 2015 has in store for me, but I bet it is something
spectacular.

First, you've always been a good squatter! :) Second, I love and appreciate my family more than anything also!! Third, you are so beautiful with little or no make-up! And you make those duck boots look adorable!
