New Years

Happy New Year...way late. I am finally forcing myself to blog about a few things since this is basically our family journal. We threw ourselves a little New Years party. Avery made the decorations and the big game of the night - it was something like pin the sunshine in the sky. We fixed traditional family New Year's favorites for dinner and celebrated the New Year at 9 with the kids as well as at midnight. Mikey was trying so hard to stay up for the actual New Year that when I woke him up (don't tell him that he fell asleep), he jumped up, ran into the kitchen to get the sparkling cider, and knocked one of the glasses off of the counter. I was scurrying to sweep up the millions of pieces before the countdown was over. It just seemed like bad luck to have broken glass all over the floor for the New Year...I made it with 7 seconds to spare. Hopefully 2009 will only bring us great things!
