NYE -

We had a rockin' NEW YEARS EVE...not really but the kids did! We had "Jacob and Company" over for a little party. Some hats, blowers, and Chinese food and we had ourselves a good old fashioned NYE! Of course, Luke LOVED Jacob being here. They pretty much ran around like crazy men until they were too tired to stand. Then they sat and watched America's Funniest Home Videos and no one moved or talked for the last 30min because they were too tired. I think we need to schedule more playdates at 9pm :)

They were very cute running around with their party accessories!!

Top Gift -

After all was said and done...all the Santa gifts, all the gifts from grandparents and Great-Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Friends, you name it...I asked Luke to name his FAVORITE gift.

"LIZARD EGG" He quickly says.

This Lizard Egg, I got at Christmas Tree Shoppe, $2.99. Stocking Stuffer. You put the thing in water and a toy lizard comes out.

Goes to show...you just never can tell....

Christmas in NH -

Christmas night, we headed north to stay on "Papa's farm" in NH. It was all good until the storm hit. First, we got dumped on with about a foot of snow, which was OK because we were warmly inside with the fire watching how beautiful it all was outside BUT also wondering if we would ever make it home. THEN, Jay got sick. Jay got better and I got sick. UGH! But we made the most of it. Most important is that the kids didn't get sick up there and they had a great time. They always love seeing the horses and just the overall excitement of staying away from home.
