the only thing I ever need to be content on New Years is that at midnight I be in the arms of my loving hubby, and like the 8 years past I had the pleasure of kissing the man of my dreams at midnight!  Nothing could make me happier than celebrating the new years with my hubby. We headed to Kohls earlier this evening after dinner so Dean could use his gift card to get a belgian waffle maker, yes that was what he decided to get, strange but after watching Alton Brown talk about waffles he was sold!  So I got a new bed set, complete w/ comforter, sheets, bedskirt, shams and whatever else comes with bed sets from Kohls and Dean a waffle maker!  Then we headed to a friends house to play games again. (after stopping to get a bottle of champagne per my request, it was good stuff too, much better than I’d been dreaming of for a few days) the kids did a great job again, aside from wanting to snack non stop all night they did great letting us play.  Bo even went to bed in a pack and play without too much fuss.    We came home about 15 minutes before the new year and got the kids settled into bed and watched the fireworks on tv.  it was a nice mostly quiet evening.
one of the big highlights for me was going through a baby name book with my friend. I’ve never been around for her pregnancies, we met them shortly after they had their youngest who is now 3+.  So it’s great to be pregnant and to get to share in this special time with her, as we’re both expecting our third child.   it’s early in her pregnancy so they dont know the sex yet so it was fun to be able to toss around girl names since we know we wont ever get to use a girl name ourselves. so after a relaxing evening I feel a little more refreshed, but unfortunately still in pain. well time to finish up a few things before I head to bed. just wanted to wish everyone a happy new year while I was up and the house is quiet!
