New Years

for New Year's Eve we decided not to host the annual party at out place since I have been feeling sick and didn't feel like having anyone over. So Kanoe and Parker did the honors this year. It was a fun night night with tons of food. Course I wish I had been feeling better and wasn't so tired. Also Huddy didn't really go to sleep though he did have about a half hour nap around 11 but was up for the midnight festivities. Jackson had a blast riding quads, hanging out by the fire and watching firecrackers. I pretty much did not see him the whole night. In retrospect I probably would have sent Stephen and Jackson to the party while I stayed home with the baby and slept. The next day I woke up earlier than I would have liked to, to have breakfast with some girls from High School ( Katie, Jules, Amber, Amanda and Ali) we went to Paradise Bakery and had a blast, I truly love hanging with the girls and reminiscing. After that Stephen and I took Jackson to see Alvin and The Chipmunks which he has been talking about for months. We never see movies especially not all together and it was so nice to go, he loved it. After that my mom had us over for dinner and hot cocoa outisde by her new fireplace, it was a blast. And I had been CRAVING Pei Wei. ( actually craving eating out of a take out container from Pei Wei.) A couple of days later we finally had our annual holiday party with my girlfriends from school. Hillary hosted it this year and did a great job, Stephen is always trying to get us to do a girls only party but we keep insisting it be a couple party. During the gift exchange Stephen even chose his own gift, Pirates gift card of course. It was a great night I love my friends and hope that we keep doing this.
