Almost a Quiet New Year too!

We had originally made New Years plans that kind of fell through, so we again made a run to the store for the girls to pick out some treats for a family New Year's Party, very last minute, though unlike Christmas Eve I think we actually had like an hour before the stores closed! Then, David called and talked to the Stevens who were also just planning a quiet evening, so we decided to rain on their parade.  We had a good time and the girls were excited to have someone else at the party too!  They also enjoyed their dogs and Abby even named her new Webkinz after their cat Lilly.  

Jeana informed me she wanted to make some decorations for the 'party' and then disappeared for a while.  She then came down and said she made a sign of the USA because we all get to celebrate the new year here.  So she spent a long time coloring the pages with marker.  So cute.

There is a fun game called sleeping queens that our neighbor introduced us to and it is one I enjoy playing with them too.  So, I was trying to be a good mom and play with them since they didn't have any little friends around, but then Dad turned on the Steven's big TV and Shrek 2 was on, and they wouldn't have anything to do with the game.  How rude! (well at least I tried to give them some attention!)

I'm sad you couldn't have come to my New Year's Eve party. The only people that showed up were Richard and his wife - and they had to leave at 10:00. So guess what we did? My husband and I went down to the SUB for the institute new year's eve party. I guarantee we were the oldest ones there, but we had fun!!!

Hey there Jennett, I found your blog from Sara's blog. How are you doing? Last time I remember hearing from you was in Idaho Falls when we first moved here. Do you make it here often? Anyway, it would be great to keep in touch. Your girls are so cute. I hope to hear from you soon!
