Happy New Year, and Cheers to the Year Ahead!

From our home to yours, Happy New Year!!!

We rang in 2014 at home last night, just the four of us, with an EPIC sing-a-long and dance party! Our playlist included: Don't Stop Believin', Chicken Fried, Step It Out Mary, Life is a Highway, Where is the Love?, Toes, Ain't Nobody Got Time for That, and Party in the USA. It was such a fun night, complete with some neighborhood fireworks! We celebrated Irish New Year at 6pm and PA New Year at 11pm before the kids called it a night. Then Martin and I rang in 2014 at Midnight Texas time, ready to embrace the next year of our lives together. 2013 was quite a year, and we can't wait to see what's in store for us in 2014! Bring. It. On. 

We wish you all the best in the year ahead! Cheers to focusing on what matters most and making your dreams come true!

Happy New Year from Team Fogarty!

Let the New Year's Eve fun begin...

Cracking themselves up...

Happy New Year, one and all!!!

We rang in 2013 at home and had such a fun night with the kiddos! We made a Rice Krispie treat train and decorated it, which was a blast! Both kids were so into it, as you can see from the pictures :)

After decorating the train and tasting it, we had a living room dance party, featuring some of our all-time favorites: Don't Stop Believin', Rhythm of Love, Galway Girl, and Party in the USA. Grace and I also ambushed Martin with silly string, which he didn't enjoy very much! He said "karma" got me when Grace squirted me directly in the eye with it a few minutes later ;-) Never a dull moment around here, I tell ya!

The kids ran out of gas and started melting down around 10pm, so we put them to bed, and Martin and I stayed up until 2am listening to music, dancing, and reminiscing. Our final song of the evening was "The Parting Glass," one of the best Irish songs ever written (in my opinion). It was the perfect way to welcome a new year...I'm so excited to see what God has in store for Team Fogarty in 2013. We're ready for a wonderful year together! Happy New Year, friends!!! 

"I gently rise and softly call...
Good Night and Joy Be To You All!"

Fun Times with Cute Kids

I'm really enjoying my time with the kids during this holiday break...we're having so much fun together :) Today we went to lunch at Chick-Fil-A since they were getting a bit stir crazy. Sometimes an indoor playground is just what kids need :)

They chased each other for over an hour...
and enjoyed every minute of it!

Love this one! Look at the pure joy on
his sweet face :)

Sliding together :) I always love when I capture a
moment when you can tell how much they
love each other!

Sweet Grace, sporting three braids :)

We're excited to ring in 2013 at home together this evening...details about our fun family night coming soon! Enjoy ringing in the new year, and know that you are loved! Peace out...

Happy New Year!!

From our home to yours, Happy New Year! May 2012 bring you happiness and peace :-)

We rang in 2012 at home with Martin' parents who are visiting from Ireland. It was an awesome way to ring in the new year, and we're so thankful for the special time we've had with them. Bring it on, 2012. Team Fogarty is ready for a year to remember!

Happy New Year! Bring on 2011 :-)

Happy New Year from Team Fogarty!

Here's to making 2011 your best year ever! We had a wonderful time ringing in the new year with dear friends last night. Grace was especially excited to have four of her friends come over to hang out and two of them spend the night (her very first sleepover!).

We hung out with friends all day today, and it was the perfect way to start the year. 2010 was really awesome, especially because we added Colin to our family, and we're eager to see what's in store for us this year! We wish you happiness and peace this year. Choose to make 2011 FABULOUS!
