HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL

Happy 2009! We did not ring in the new year last night. Chris had to work so Noah and I stayed up till about 10 and then I fell asleep on the couch so we headed to bed. We had a wonderful Christmas. Noah and Eve woke up at 1:30 a.m. We sent them into Noah's room to settle down and watch a movie. Chris told them we weren't getting up till 6 o'clock. They were rowdy and excited over their santa gifts and stockings so Chris had to get up twice and tell them to settle down. FINALLY at 4:45I told them to turn the t.v. off and lay down and rest and they fell asleep and no one got up till 8:30. I was really surprised. We opened presents about 8:45-9:00. I don't think I've ever in my life opened presents when the sun was up. Since we were having our own Christmas breakfast at home (not going out to the Argo's for breakfast which we've always done in the past) we took our time and had great morning. We headed to the Argo's about lunch time. We opened up more presents. We brought some of our Playstation games one which was guitar hero. We brought 2 guitars and everyone took turns playing. That went over well and we had fun playing against each other. We had dinner about 3 or so. It was yummy as was the desserts. We packed up and headed home about 7:30 I think. The kids were really pretty good the whole day. I'm thankful to have been able to celebrate Christmas together with my family and loved ones. I missed you all and wish we could have all been together. I pray that your new year is full of the most precious blessings. Everyone take care.
