Happy New Year!

We spent New Year's Eve with friends, the Phillips family (Paul, Misty, Lauren, & Jackson) and the Kocher family (Jared, Courtney, Christian, Ian, & Ella). Curt, Misty, and Jared went to medical school together, so we have known each other for almost ten years. Wow! We each took turns adding little ones to our families, starting with Lauren who is six years old and ending (for now) with Ella who is ten months old. All of their birthdays are in the first six months of the year, so we will be seeing a lot of each other in the upcoming months. Misty and Paul hosted the get-together and made a delicious meal. A great time was had by all!

Here is Lauren teaching Cole how to play the piano.
Caden loves playing with the Kocher boys. Here they are having a great time with Jackson's new racetrack.
Curt and Ian compared Jedi powers all evening. I think Ian might have won this round.
Cole entertaining the crowd with some tunes

One of the highlights of New Year's Eve was meeting Ella Kate Kocher, who came home to her family shortly after Thanksgiving. She is absolutely adorable! What a joy! Here are Ella and Mama Courtney.
