new year.

we spent the last day of 2011 on a long hike through the woods.






k discovered a full skeleton of a deer. we thought of a patronus



and said a little prayer.



we tested the depth of the creek - and carefully considered wading in.



we followed it with a traditional holiday dinner, chocolate fondue, champagne, and a challenging new puzzle that kept us all up into 2012.

a glorious way to ring out the old year and welcome the new.

Happy New Year!
