Happy New Year - Goodbye 2009, Welcome 2010

Wow.  What a great beginning to a great New Year!  I got to hang out with the girls all day, and then when Kenny got home from hunting, I got to go on a "mom and me" date with my little Brookie!  We went to dinner at CiCi's (her choice) and then we went to see the new Chipmunks movie.  I think it was called "Alvin and the Chipmunks, the Squekquel".  We had an awesome time, and we both thoroughly enjoyed the movie and the time together.  What a fun little girl she is :)  So sweet, funny, and smart (oh, did I mention she's quite talkative)?  I hope this is a great year, and I also have to say that I hope this New Year brings a cure or treatment for SMA... if not, at least we are one year closer!!!

Yesterday, we hosted our very first New Years Eve party.  We normally have a couple over to eat dinner and to celebrate (which is a party in itself), but this year - they came, in addition to quite a few other couples!  It was a blast.  Friends, drinks, steamed shrimp, tenderloin, chicken, sausage dip (yum), cranberry and white chocolate chip cookies, and more - yum!  We retained a sitter for the kids (our kids and those of the guests), and they had a great time with one another.  Althought it wasn't planned, the kids were definitely up to bring in 2010.  They went to bed the latest they have EVER been to bed at home.  XOXOX.

  1. ahhh I can't wait to go on similiar "mommy and me" dates with mine. Although every minute with them is wonderful, one-on-one time is so precious. I see so much more about their personalities then! Hope all is well Visha!
