Happy New Year!

It is fitting that my New Years post is almost 2 days late :) We like to stay home on new years--going out to parties with little kids that are used to going to bed at 6:30, isn't really so much fun. This year I told the kids they could chose whatever they wanted to eat--so our menu was:

Homemade Carmel Corn (chosen by Caroline)

Nachos (From Carter) *with sausage requested by Alex

Strawberries and Oranges--from Alex

We invited some friends over and had a great time with them. They left about 10 and by that time Aaron was in bed and Carter and Alex were asleep in the family room. Matt and I were hoping that Caroline would fall asleep too, but she was a trooper and stayed up until midnight.

Of course the boys were up by 6am the next morning--nothing like starting the new year off sleep deprived.

As for New Years Resolutions?

• Say No to things that I don't want to do or don't have time to do--I want to stop sacrificing things that are important to me, to do things I don't need to do.
• Make memories with my kids--take time to do special things with all of the kids and with each one individually that they will remember.
• Relax and enjoy my life--the good and the bad.

2009 was a great year and hopefully 2010 will be even better.
