Happy New Year!

I can't believe it's 1-1-11 already! We had a small party to ring in the new year.  It's fun to just have a relaxed evening at home with friends.  Of course the guys played Wii all night while the girls talked over sushi and chocolate fondue.

Here is our little party animal saying Happy New Year! It's so crazy to think that last year at this time I wasn't even pregnant! Wow. What a difference a year makes!

Adalyn found a boy to have a New Year's kiss with!  Eli (and his parents too!) came over to spend the evening with us and he was quite enamored with her.  It was precious.  He was giving her hugs and loving on her. If I had any say, we would arrange their marriage now!

Today was "take down the Christmas decorations day".  I love Christmas decorations but I don't like putting them up and I really don't like taking them down! Are 10 bins of decorations really worth the one month a year they will be up?  Somehow I always say yes to that question.  So today we took everything down and our house looks so empty...but in a good way.  Now I get the chore of going to the basement to bring up all of the "normal" house decorations and remember what goes where.

I hope you all had a wonderful New Year's Eve and New Year's Day and I hope your new year brings lots of happiness!
