Bringing in the New Year With Sunshine!

Sunshine!  What a Lovely Way to Start of a New Year!

The beautiful combo of:  Glorious Sunshine, Snow-Capped Mountains and Glistening Salt Water  :)  Nothing short of purely magical!

We spent 4 precious days with my sis-inlaw/bro-in-law and their 3 sweet boys ushering in the New Year.  Look at these beaming smiles -- Cousin Love is SO AWESOME!  Below our boy in each pic paired with their aged cousin:

It's the simple the simple things in life that make me smile -- like a sliding barn door!  :)

It was in the 20's and the fall leaves were all frozen to the ground. 

Lovely.  :)

The Sweet Delight of Little Bird's Nest Tucked Away in the Bushes.

First Glimpses of the Gorgeous Mansion

The Solid Ice Took on a Uniquely Creative Softness

Felt a bit like we were strolling though The Shire!  :)  Someone, cue the Lord of the Rings music!

Yep!  Even a Bald Eagle's Nest (With Them Inside)!

Love.

Nothing like a breathtaking sunset with mountains, water and a light house to kick off the New Year!

Happy New Year, 2016!!  :)
