A Fun Holiday!

As each New Year approaches, I always find my self doing the cliché thing by thinking of all the resolutions I could make. Then I find myself with the rest of the world 2 weeks after New Year’s failing those resolutions and being miserable about it. So this year….although I have thought of many resolutions, there will be none made. All I am going to do is try harder to do better at all I do, and if I fail…get right back up and keep on trying.

This is my kids on New Year’s Eve….I heard giggling and went down to check on them and luckily had my camera close by to catch this moment…lol-sorry for the nudity, that is a common occurrence with Kayler at our house!



We had a great New Year’s Eve and Day. It has been SO nice to sleep in and have the kid’s home (except when they fight because they are so sick of being with each other!) My mom let Hallie and Gavin stay the night Wednesday night, and she was so nice to take Kayler to stay the night Thursday so we could go to a little get together with our friends.



We were at the Masons with the Nielson's, Allred's, and other Nielson's. It was a fun group! Hallie and Gavin had a ton of fun playing dress up.




While playing dress up they found some hair spray and they were so thrilled when they got to die their hair for New Years!



We played Guesstures, the bag game, Nertz, a guessing game, and I forget what else.






Hallie found her a baby Hallee to play with and Gavin played with his good buddy Dillon from school.




We didn’t get to sleep until almost 2 after we got home and got settled, but we made up for it by sleeping in until 10:30 the next morning….boy did that feel good!

New Year’s Day we just did stuff around the house. G.J. helped Gavin build the huge Lego pirate ship he had got for Christmas.



We had a spaghetti dinner at my parent’s house, then had our good friends the Durham’s over for some treats and Wii time. I only snapped one picture because Kayler was on the rampage as usual, so I didn’t have time to capture any good shots.



Today is just boring as usual. Stuff around the house and relaxing. The kids got the cutest snow house from G.J.’s parents, so I sent them out to play. They had a lot of fun, even if it was only 9 degrees outside.





Tonight will be a girl’s night for my friend Candace’s birthday. Then 11 o’clock church tomorrow, HOORAY! Then back to the grinder of school and everyday life on Monday. This truly has been a great holiday season. Good food, fun with family and friends, health, safety, and happy times! All good fun things must come to an end right?
