Happy New Year!

Our New Years Eve was spent with my sister's family, Debbie, and my Mom and Dad. We hung out at her house ate a lot of food (0f course) and watched a movie while the kids enjoyed playing. The kids spent most of the day playing outside in the snow as we woke up to about 4 inches or more of white fluffy snow. They have really enjoyed playing out their and sledding down our neighbor's hill in their backyard. New Years Day was a great break for Travis and I as my mom offered to take our kids overnight for a sleepover at Grandma's house. My kids had a blast and Brinley was so excited to sleep in her own big bed. They played out in the snow and they even wore our old snowsuits that mom has kept all these years. (Will get those pictures from mom for a later posting.)
As for Travis and I we were able to go out for a night on the town for dinner and a movie. Following the movie we drove around our old neighborhood, which was a lot of fun reflecting on our old memories as it was our first home. A lot of stuff we miss, but we sure do love where we are now and all the memories we are building. Now 2010 is here and the world thought we would never make it pass 2000. I still remember being in Spokane filling my bathtub full of water in case we lost all the power and my mom being worried to death that we were so far away from family. Well we made it and I am sure there will be many suprises, opportunities, and memories around the corner. Happy New Year.
