Happy New Year

For the past three years we have spent New Year's Eve at Krista and Mike's house having a pajama party. This year most of Todd's siblings were there, as well as family friends of Krista and Mike's. Krista put together a yummy casual dinner for us and then had snacks for us to eat throughout the night. Speaking of things to eat, Jackson made a yummy dessert to take with us. He really thought he needed to make something for Aunt Krista. Although it wasn't the best tasting treat, everyone still tried it and made Jackson feel great about his baking project. The kids had a great time playing together. Jackson is happy playing dolls with the little girls or some type of sports game in the basement with the boys. Aubrin and Tessa were having a great time playing together and being silly. Although Aubrin would be just as happy sitting on my lap these days. She is always concerned where I am and what I'm doing. The kids also brought their sleeping bags and watched a movie that was projected very large onto the wall. Jackson said he felt like he was at the movie theater. Around 10:30 both kids were getting very tired. At around 11:00 we decided it was time to pack it up and head home. They made it a half hour longer than they did last year. Once we got home we all crawled into our bed to watch the ball drop. The kids were both sleeping within 10 minutes and missed midnight. Sleeping or not, it was a great way to bring in the new year laying all snuggled in my bed with my little loves.
