New Years

This year we brought in the New Year with my mom, Rob, Breanna, Dallas, McKenzie, and my cousin Alexis.  We had a small party at our apartment and just relaxed and played games.  We lost track of time and didn't even watch the ball drop at midnight--we noticed it was a 2010 a couple minutes past the hour.  Ooops!

For Christmas I received an ice cream maker and we made homemade ice cream which we ate at midnight--cheers!  I even pulled out all my scrapbooking stuff so that I could show mom my cricket and play around, but we never did get around to it--the evening seemed to go by so quickly.

Zuri stayed up until close to midnight.  The poor baby was so tired!  She cuddled up with both Mom and Rob and we thought for sure she would fall asleep, but she wanted to be involved so bad that she would wake herself up at the last instant.

It was a fun night--I know it wasn't all that exciting for the teenagers, but I hope they had a little fun as well.  Here are some highlights from the night!

New Years day we relaxed at home.  Because Zuri was off her schedule, and we all got up late, we delayed Zuri's normal naptime.  I guess we delayed it too long, because she fell asleep in the funniest position.  One of her methods of self-soothing is to pull a blanket over her head.  We had been playing with a puzzle and she laid down pulling the puzzle over her head.  I thought it was funny and wanted to see how long she would stay that way.  After a minute I had J check (she was also laying in my lap) and sure enough she had fallen asleep.  Too funny!
