New Year's Eve

We hung out, got to see some fireworks thanks to a neighbor, watched TV, played online, the kids played Animal Crossing, played Trivial Pursuit Steal, and we built this out of the Jenga blocks...

Cody had such a good time whacking the bad guys!

Checking out the last survivor

We counted down to midnight and soon confetti covered the floor! Those little party poppers are loud!

The first day of 2011 was relatively uneventful. We got up late. Last night, we had a major thunderstorm. Cassie has always been and forever will be afraid of thunder. That kid barks like crazy during a thunderstorm, so needless to say Bobby and I didn't get much sleep. When everyone got hungry, we made a yummy meal of biscuits, bacon and eggs. Bobby watched most of the Alabama game, we played Scrabble, we talked about homeschooling goals for this year, I looked at websites and curriculum I want to try out, Britney sketched, Cody used his catapult to fling snapping pops against the house...just a nice day.

Happy New Year!

It's a hard to believe that in just a few hours it will be 2011.

This coming year holds a few milestones for us as far as birthdays are concerned. Our youngest child will be double digits in March, our oldest will be a teenager in August, and I'll turn 30 in September. All of these events scare me, but only because it means time is passing by too quickly.

I am excited about another year with my wonderful family, homeschooling our children, making memories with our family and friends, laughing too much and loving life. I have been so very blessed.

I hope you all have a healthy, happy, wonderful 2011!
