It was fun evening. The kids had so much fun, running and playing - an being crazy. I have to give it to Tineke - she is dutch, and it is true - dutch moms are the coolest and most relaxed moms in the world. My frantic self was in total awe of this superpower she seems to mange so easily - I am impressed.
I quickly fell in love with the evening, and the easy going atmosphere. I also won't deny that they fact that I was able to speak Afrikaans to people face to face in the middle of West Texas was something beautiful to say the least.
Another bonus - South African food (and Dutch dessert) - nothing better then South African company and food all together mix together.
It was kind of the perfect ending to a really difficult year. It was just what I needed to kick start the new year - and to come to the realization and acceptance - this is is where our roots will start to sprout - so embrace it and bloom.
This is pretty much the only picture that I got - it was super late (way past our bed time) we were tired, it was cold, and the picture is really crappy quality - but I love it, a spontaneous and purposeful moment right here....

Today I am finally encourage - to fully embrace this new year!!
This is going to be a beautiful year - soul-stretching I am sure, but all the more beautiful.
I am ready!
Hello 2016, come on in, and bloom, bloom fully!
