New Year’s Eve

Tonight we went to Harvey’s aunt and uncle’s for dinner.  We always have a nice meal there and fun with cousins.  As tradition goes, we’ll be in bed before 10.  I have never been a big New Year’s Eve party type person.  Since I have to get up early, exercise, do all the laundry, and clean up the house before the kids get up…just kidding…I didn’t make any resolutions.  Don’t call too early!

Christmas Eve

 We went to church for the family Christmas Eve service.  We were a little late, a general theme of 2012, so we had to sit in the back.  The kids couldn’t see anything so they doodled through the lot of prayer cards in the back of the pew.  Megan got up and down off of the pew precisely three hundred times.

Dear Santa, I have been very good this year…Please bring me a Lego excavator with a boat, a t.v. that can go in our room (with a remote), Legos, an art kit, crayons. Ryan, Erik, and Megan

I think Erik is going to keep trying for that t.v. in his room until he is out on his own.  Fortunately, Santa is on our side on this one.

So far these are the best cookies we have made.  Can’t wait for Ryan to one day have a chocolate chip cookie made with real butter and eggs!
