It seems like we've made a tradition of eating as a family at the Japanese steakhouse in Roanoke each New Year's Eve. Everyone was quiet about making plans this year but Joey called the day before to see if we wanted to go! The only reservation they had left was 4:30, but it worked out well anyway because we all skipped lunch and were ready to party early. We missed Mom and Dad, Stephen and Michael.
We decided at the last minute to treat it like a fancy night out, so we all dressed up and I curled the girls' hair.
My lovely sister-in-law :)
Hank wore a clip-on tie for the first time! Handsome :)
He was so bad during dinner, though...lots of impatience (read: screaming). We try to limit eating out with him...
Love this profile...cute nose and it shows her curls!
Happy New Year from the Fernandez crew!
We did a mini photo shoot in the lobby.
I was sad that this turned out blurry...but what a beautiful family!
This is my favorite shot of course :)
Hank's tie matched Joey's shirt so we couldn't resist a picture of the two of them together.
Afterwards we went to the Maggi's new home to ring in 2014. We just put the kids to bed there at their house and it worked out so easily! Awesome start to the year with family and dear friends.
