Happy New Year!

We had a very nice New Year's Eve! The four of us headed over to Tom and Lori's house for their open house. It was sooooo much fun. The kids had a lot of fun together and Gavin wasn't even interested in any of the cookies there because he didn't want to stop playing! Ian and Gavin were excited to see Ella and Sophia, too. They had an incredible spread of food. AMAZING!!! It was so nice to catch up with our friends, too. And whatever they gave me to drink...I want 10 bottles of that! :) hee hee

From there, we headed back home to get the kids in their pajamas before our next party. Gavin really needed and wanted to go to the bathroom, but it just wasn't working for him. He was a little cranky heading down, but he managed. We were the last ones to arrive at the Nelsons. There were six couples and four kids (two were ours). Ian ran off with Luke and Ben and Gavin were attached at the hip. It was great! Lance and Jessica had unbelieveable food there and I brought over pumpkin cream cheese roll cake and chocolate cookies with white chips! We were hoping the kids would watch a movie and fall asleep, but that wasn't the case. All four kids were exhausted, so we actually headed home so Ben and Luke could also get some sleep! We can't believe Ian and Gavin stayed up as long as they did though! Anyway, it was very nice to be invited to some parties!!!

This morning the boys and I headed over to mom's for a little bit to see how they were doing. Came home to lunch and a nap for Gavin. Ian chose to play the Wii for a little bit and he is getting a little too good at baseball!!! I really just wanted to watch football all day, but I knew that would not happen. After dinner, baths and books, it was time for the kids to get into bed and me...well, off to the couch to watch some of the Rose Bowl. UGH. What a score, but still...what an experience for Penn State, right?!
