We decided to have a little get together at the Hawker cabin for New Years Eve. I loved being surrounded by good friends as we counted down the seconds to 2012. I love New Years and the opportunities it provides for a fresh start and high hopes. 2012 has a lot to live up to if it wants to surpass 2011!
