New Years Eve 2009 - Welcome Twenty Ten

Well the last day of the 2009 proved to be one of my favorites, and that says a lot because in my estimation it has been a fun year. There have been several downs, but I am choosing to only see the good. It was a great year with the kids and watching them grow and change. Claire has made such great strides that continue to make us proud of her hard work. I know that the older she gets the harder she tries and the more ground she gains. The last thing to really happen to her this year is that she got glasses. SO CUTE! Her first statement when she put them on was "Wow, everything is so big!" Really made me feel bad, but I promise I have had her eyes checked every year! Brock had a great 2009 finishing kindergarten, playing basketball, baseball and soccer two seasons. He loves them all which is great with me, just makes life hectic. I am pretty sure I will go to my grave with no comprehension whatsoever of how my Mom did all that she did. As a mom with fewer children, and not even close to the directions that we went, her ability to make it all happen, and so seamlessly still astounds me. Anyway, this year was our big Disney Vacation that was pure magic and will always be one of my favorite vacations of all times. We spent a lot of time watching Nephews & Nieces doing all their different sporting activities which is one of my favorite things to do. I love seeing them excel, and I have to say I am their biggest fan. There is really no way to tell what 2010 will bring, but I am sure that just like any year it will have its ups and downs too. I just pray that we are able to enjoy each day for what it brings, and learn our lessons wherever and however they come. Best Wishes for the New Year to all my friends, may it be a great one!

Now for New Years Eve!!!!!!!! What a fun night! We hosted this year and had a fantastic time! We were blessed to have the Burton's, Bowman's, Chaffin's, McClain's, Martha and the Shoemaker's join us to ring in the new year. You can't imagine how much fun that many kids could have with only a few minor mishaps. (One being my carpet :)! Some idiot thought that it would be a great idea to let the kids paint pictures in the garage. What was she thinking! Oh well, no harm, only fun!) One of the highlights was for sure the Wii Just Dance-a-thon! Some day I am going to develop some level of dignity, I just know it. I woke up this morning laughing about dancing with Cortney to Cotton Eyed Joe. However, getting Amy Burton to dance with me was AWESOME! Brock has been begging all morning for us to go get that game (I want it really bad too!) Anyway, it was an amazing ending to a great year, and a perfect way to bring in a new decade of fun! Here are a few pics to show the fun....
