In case you didn't know, it's 2010

Kota with Brooke...at midnight

This is the first post of 2010...I can't believe I haven't posted anything earlier...The long weekend just kind of flew by.

So, here we are...4 days into the new year. I wonder what 2010 has in store for my family???

Well, this is how we rang in the new year......

Like I talked about in the last post of 2009, we headed out to Aunt Samantha and Uncle Jerry's house for Hamburgers on the grill. On our way there, we stopped at the Fireworks stand and bought a few fireworks. Our night consisted of:
eating,
firework fun,

Kota's 1st sparkler

Lilyann's 1st sparkler with Katie

Brooke shooting off a Roman Candle..it was a cold and rainy night...but still fun.

eating some more,
playing farkle (which I won one game!! woohoo!!),
singing Happy Birthday,

Happy Birthday, Jed! yes, all of those candles were for him

eating Jed's birthday cake,
and watching home movies.
And finally, ringing in the new year.

I think my age might be catching up with me...because even after 2 cups of coffee, I was so ready for bed after the clock struck midnight!!

Kota is excited...we are FINALLY in the same month as his birthday. The last few days, he has woken up asking if today was his birthday. I have a calendar in his room, and we have his birthday marked (Jan.28th) and we are crossing off the days til his birthday. He is ready for his birthday to be here so he can have his Buzz cake.
