Happy New Year

It was great ringing in the new year! My folks made three different types of yummy tacos, we watched movies, and played the Wii. Although the kids wrote a petition to turn off the movie and all signed it, they included other signatures too; Indiana Jones, Michael Jackson, The Boogie man, Walt Disney, And Derek Wibley who is married to Avril Lavigne and apparently has a big nose. Emmy and the cousins have been giggling about that for a month. The petition didn't work, but they got to play guitar hero soon enough! I think we had them eat popsicles while they waited. Almost all of the kids stayed up 'till midnight which is a first! And we all were very happy and feeling blessed, gotta love it!~

Addison & Tanya did awesome for their first try at Guitar hero.

That's me being entertained by all the commotion~

Kieran is a crack up, these were full Chinese splits, the kids loved my new sunglasses and guitar hero and were truly rocking out hehe.

Emmy especially had a great time, she loves playing with the cousins, staying up late, making noise! All the traditions.. It wasn't long after we left for home she was counting the time before we could go back and visit the grandparents!

My beautiful Mother, she is so wonderful. She works hard to make sure we are all happy, loved, fed, and generally enjoying life!

Its wonderful how mine and Tanya's relationship has improved recently. Being family oriented is such a blessing.~

It was such a great time going and visiting my parents, sister, and her kiddos. The weather couldn't be any better and we loved our time with one another. It was the fastest wait ever for midnight, just like the whole year of 2009. It seemed to pass by so fast!
