I love traditions. I have so many traditions. I am always trying to think of new traditions. If something is fun...it becomes tradition. Our New Year's Day tradition is one of my favorites.... Beach with the Blumes. We have done it for 4 years now and each time it is The. Most. Beautiful Day.
While we waited for the Blumes we stopped at Crescent Bay. It was probably one of the most amazing days I have ever experienced on the So Cal coast.
The tide was out so we went exploring on the rocks. 
And saw so many huge and colorful sea stars and other sea urchins...amazing!
Who needs Sea World?!
Back to Balboa for the Annual New Year's Day sunset picture.
Last year Sara and I were pregnant with these two. They are such fun additions to the madness.
Happy 6th Birthday Paige!
The girls did the trampoline for the 1st time.
Taylor was nervous. She had the funniest laugh...nervous and excited all rolled into 1.
Ashlyn had to be like the big girls and do it too.
Such an awesome day!
We rang in 2011 with New York at 9:00pm....We are mad party animals.
The kids were a great audience as the firework enthusiasts did their thing.
