We have had a nice break from work and school. We’ve had a lot of great family time, watched movies, caught up on sleep, eaten (a lot!), and celebrated.
New Year’s Eve we had the day off and the kids were in school, so Nick and I went to a 10 a.m. movie, had lunch together, and went shopping. It was super fun!
We picked up the kids and headed straight to Party City to buy some overpriced NYE celebration stuff, then to Publix with the rest of the city to buy our steaks. We went home and started cooking. I really liked how the meal turned out, and our guests, Faris and Margo seemed to enjoy it (especially Faris who passed out about 10 minutes after eating!).
We all ate Black Eye Peas, but I think noone enjoyed them more than Lu!
We donned our celebration hats, cracked open the sparkling cider, turned on New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, and grabbed our horns to ring in the New Year (early).
After we put the kids to bed, we went down to the basement and watched another movie, Zero Dark Thirty. It put Faris and Margo to sleep but Nick and I loved it. We actually made it to midnight with our sparkling cider!
New Year’s Day we were pretty tired and content to lay low. We took down our Christmas decorations, played outside, and took the kids out for a walk/ride in the wagon. We were getting just a little bit of cabin fever, so that was just what we needed!
I made Lasagna, and Z and Nick watched yet another movie (Jim Henson’s Dark Crystal). We put the kids to bed and watched Jobs. I told you we watched a lot of movies! It’s been awesome! We wait pretty much all year for this uninterrupted family time. I really can’t believe it’s over, but I am happy to get back to our normal routine.
