New Year's 2009

Emaline and I spent a very low key New Year's with my family at my sister Stephani's 2nd annual party. This year it was mainly just us, but Craig, Adham's friend, decided to join us as well. It was exactly what I was looking for in the way of a New Year's celebration because it took the least amount of energy from me! We played games, ate lots of yummy sliders (thanks to Adham and his new grill pan), watched countless episodes of The Twilight Zone and chased Emaline around the house. Obviously, the only one that didn't make it to midnight was Kaya and we all had champagne and sparkling cider (me and Em) while watching the fireworks go off in Stephani's neighborhood. Needless to say it was super cold that night and we didn't last long outside!

We called Daddy at midnight to wish him a happy new year and give kisses through the phone and luckily he wasn't too busy to answer. Thankfully, it was a pretty easy night for him too :-) Maybe one of these days he won't have to work that night. We got home roughly about 1:30am and Emaline was a real trooper. This girl loves to party...as a matter of fact she asked me when she woke up this morning when we were going to another party! She won't have to wait either since her and I are going to visit friends for a post-NY shindig tonight. We again were glad to spend time with family and friends and hope that everyone had a great start to 2009!

Glad you had a good new years! I am not at all surprised that a child raised with YOUR family can stay up late and know how to PARTY! You look so great! I cannot believe you only have a few weeks left. I will keep checking regularly. Don't wanna miss out!
