Still no pictures – need to get them off Will’s camera. I think Brooks took some last night…
We got home from LA at about 5 or 5:30; in the morning Will went to see Connie and I watched the kids swim at the hotel. We went over to Grandpa’s house for dinner, and then over to Grandpa Roger’s house for New Years Eve.
Amy and Darren and their kids were there; Melanie, Katie and Kevan; dad and Brooks, Timmy, me, Kevan and Ben. Will, William and AJ all came for a while and then left. We played a bunch of games, ate a bunch of junk food, then counted down the new year. Woohoo!
Today I decided to start a new girl tradition since the boys go to grandpa’s to celebrate their boy-ness (Japanese tradition – boys have to come over first on New Years day or you have bad luck). Well, now I have girls around!! I picked up Melanie and Katie and we met Brooks and Amy at Starbucks; then we headed to Kohls to shop. Ok, I do not enjoy clothes shopping on a regular basis, because I’m just picky and it’s annoying and my kids also hate it. But the girls had gift cards they got for Christmas and I needed some shoes so we actually had a lot of fun. Then we came home and watched Ice Age 3. Next year I’ll have a bit more time to plan… I’ll have to figure out what to do on New Years day with the girls next year.
