I hope everyone had a great New Years Eve! We had a chill night at home, because, well, we have a child :) I'm reading Stephanie Wilder-Taylor's book called "Naptime is the New Happy Hour," and this is how she explains New Years:
"Every New Year's you will find yourself in the black hole of child care. Unless you want to fork out fifty bucks an hour for a sitter only to come home to find your good bottle of champagne missing, you'll be staying home. The only resolution you will end up making is not to have any more children. It's best to leave this celebration to the young, dumb, and childless. Let them get a DUI while you lie on the couch, eat Chinese takeout, and try to figure out how many of Dick Clark's facial features are still original."
Haha, she makes me laugh. So, it looks like for many years to come we will be enjoying New Year's Eve in the comfort of our own home. Jeff and Whitney came over to keep us company and we had a wonderful evening playing video games and wacky six, and eating lil' smokies and chips with queso and guac. Even Amelia graced us with her presence until 11 o'clock! Apparently she was excited about the celebration as well.

Whitney was a little tired after working 2 overnights :(
A New Years kiss for us
Our goals for 2010 include diligently scrapbooking the year, remodeling parts of the basement, maybe with a little help from Kirsta and Joe, and possibly another pregnancy :) (we'll see.)
May 2010 bring joy and happiness to all of you and your families.

DEFINITELY with help from Kirsta and Joe! And since we're doing Christmas on our own next year we were already inviting ourselves to your house for new years, so we'll at least get SOME family over the holidays!
NONE of Dick Clark's features are original.
I like your new sweater, btw :)
