Auld Lang Syne

It is traditional to sing Auld Lang Syne on New Year's Eve to signal the change from "old" times to the new.  The Scottish poem written in 1788 by Robert Burns has had many changes, but the sentiment is still the same - remember the friends from your past as you move on to new memories.

Well, we ended 2012 with family and friends in Florida enjoying the sunshine, salt water, and sand. December 31 was the only day of the trip that I took out my camera, but I am glad I did because I captured these memories.

At first Grace didn't want to get in the water.
The waves were pretty big!

But with Kyle's help, she took a chance and went in!

Her face is priceless!   

But after getting hit with a big wave, Grace decided
it was safer to bury herself in the sand!

Later on New Year's Eve day we ate seafood at a waterfront restaurant.  It was the perfect atmosphere for the end of our vacation and the year.

Here's to some AMAZING things in 2013!
