Happy, Happy 2012!

We celebrated New Year's Eve in total

Tietjen style beginning with chocolate.

Tim gave me Martha's latest cookie

cookbook for CHRISTmas and I am

bound and determined to bake each

and every one, sampling many as I go along.

We also celebrated by having yummy

Mexican food and hugging our worn-out

Dad. We are so grateful that we are able

to be there to support him and

thankful for our little family and the

contributions that each brings to our

crew!!!

After our little celebration, each

of the boys had plans of their own

and were delivered or made their

way to their festivities. Truly,

I am thankful that they have made

friends and are happy campers.

Ringing in 2012 just couldn't have been

celebrated better.
