Happy New Years!

We shared New Years evening with our friends and neighbors.

Zac and I

Shaun and Jen

Dave and Gayle

We ate great food and played an awesome game of Mexican Train Dominoes.

Anyone who knows me knows that I don't drink.

But on New Years my neighbor introduced me to TGI Friday's mudslides.

OMG... only the BEST DRINK EVER!The kids had a great time playing their own games.

Karsyn and JayCee read books The boys played Wii

Brady, Cooper, Bryant and Camden

They also played Star Wars for a long long time.


Eventually it was time to ring in the New Year with a champagne toast to 2009.



My New Years resolutions are as follows:


1. Make my kids laugh (act silly and not worry about making a fool out of myself or looking stupid)


2. Surround myself with color (I love bright cheery colors. I painted my living room wall red and I LOVE IT. This year I will paint more or add bright pops of color)


3. Spread Cheer every single day

4. Think like a kid (have a cupcake just because... or run outside and stand in the rain)


5. Take a "Me" day every once in a while


6. Return phone calls to friends in a more timely manner


7. Make date nights with my husband a priority
