Happy New Years To All!!!
I hope everyone is having a Happy New Years!! We stayed home this year and it is just the family. The kids didn't have anyone over and the girls didn't go anywhere. I made Chili and my bean dip. Just in saying that, we will all wake up with major stomach aches!! We also played games as seen above. As of right now, everyone is gamed out and now anxiously awaiting 12:00. Eric keeps saying its almost time for the ball to drop and we keep telling him to look at the clock, its not even near midnight. Here in alittle bit we will watch Dick Clark and that will make it seem more like New Years Eve. I remember when Renea and I would go to grandma and grandpas and we would watch Dick Clark and all the popular singers of the year would sing, it was so awesome, we would go out to eat, come home and play some games while watching the count down. Fond memories. Hopefully when the kids get older and have a family, they will make wonderful memories with their families.
Christmas was good and alittle different this year. We stayed home for Christmas Eve, which was a very odd feeling. I cook ham, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, and cake. We had Rays mom and dad over and by evening we were resting (well trying to, the boys were restless), in till the kids went to bed, so we could wrap presents. Not sure if I can ever get used to not going to grandmas house on Christmas Eve. Christmas Day, the kids actually slept in!! My dad came over in the morning for awhile. We went to my moms in the afternoon and had dinner, exchanged gifts, and played games. I was excited, I finally got to give my grandma and grandpa the picture I took of the Sawmill in Roann. Rays dad made a frame for it out of barn siding. I was dying, I so wanted to show them the picture all summer, but I didn't want to spoil the surprise.
After dinner we broke out Bingo, which is so fun!! Then we played Name That Tune "80's edition" (do I need to say anymore). I love that game!! We had so much fun playing it. We also played Apples 2 Apples. Eric had so much fun playing it, he bought it with his gift card and money he got for Christmas.
Dick Clark is on, so I am going to log out and Rock Out the New Year!! YaHoo!!!
