Welcoming in the NEW YEAR!

January 2, 2012 By Erica Deuel Leave a Comment

Happy New Year!!!  It’s so crazy to think how different life was a year ago!  This time last year I was  WAY pregnant with our little girl, so blessed to have her in our lives now!  I can’t believe we are quickly coming up on her first birthday (Jan. 9)!!  Time flies!

Here is a recap of our Saturday (New Year’s Eve):

  • I took the kiddos to see A Dolphin Tale at the dollar theater with my dad (G-pops)
  • Rea and I spent a good portion of the movie in the lobby 🙂  She enjoyed pushing the stroller around as she walked behind it and smiling at everyone who walked by.  I enjoyed interacting with her and just really watching her with no distractions…love time one-on-one with this girl!!  She’s a blast!
  • The boys ate a HUGE tub of popcorn in the movie.  J never let his cup get past the half full mark without getting a refill from the huge tub.  Such a funny little guy!
  • We than went to Dairy Queen with G-pops after the movie.  A blizzard is an amazing way to close out 2011!
  • We all took a two-hour nap!  Amazing!
  • Played games and hung out at home all afternoon/evening…OJ, the kid version of sequence is AMAZING!  Thank you!!
  • Enjoyed seeing my cute little niece, Natalie, and her parents while watching the New Year’s Eve stuff on T.V.
  • Had buffalo chicken cheese dip for dinner…one of my favorites!
  • Caleb playing the guitar and serenading his sister while she soaked it up the WHOLE time!
  • Rea crashed and went to bed…but the boys stayed up till midnight!!  It was J’s first year to do so!
  • J kept saying “Merry Christmas!!” when we said “Happy New Year!”
  • Drinking Sparkling Grape Juice and toasting with the boys and Matt
  • Having a little midnight dance party (at Caleb’s request) that concluded in banging some pots and pans (a childhood tradition of mine)
  • It was an amazing day!
  • p.s. everyone slept in till 8:00 the next day…and that is big around here!
