Two days late, but Happy New Year to all of you! We had a mellow but fun NYE this year. A few close friends came over and we spent the afternoon and evening BBQing, watching football, and sitting around the outside fire just visiting and enjoying ourselves. Since it's legal out here in the boonies, we shot some fireworks off, too! The adults enjoyed it, but I have to say, I'm pretty sure we traumatized not only our son (who clung to my neck, wrapped his legs around me, and screamed "NO! NO! NO!" with tears streaming down his face), but we traumatized our dog aswell. We were out front shooting a few off around 8:00, when we noticed Stormie had wandered. About that time I got a call on my cell phone from a neighbor asking if we were missing a dog. Stormie had wandered to her house about 3 blocks away. She never even leaves our driveway, so this was a very strange thing for her to do. When we got her back she was acting all shaken and nervous, so we figured the fireworks were too much to handle and she didn't know what to do so she took off! Thankful for my sweet neighbor! We might skip the fireworks next year. =)
Anyway, here are a few pictures from New Year's Eve and Day.
Really starting to love his new climber!
Ready, set, go!
Helping Daddy get the fire pit ready.....
He kept saying, "Getting STICKS!"
Snack break..... enjoying some "copcorn" and lemonade!
Hi Daddy!
Such a little boy.... no pile of leaves is safe in my backyard!
The last sunset of 2010 and we had a front row seat!
Trying to get a few pictures with Mommy...
One day I hope to get a picture of us where we're both smiling and he is without a snack or juice cup in hand!
On to fireworks. He was just "okay" with the sparklers. He sure is eyeing it though.
Starting to enjoy them!
Last picture of me and my boy taken in 2010! It was WAY past bedtime, hence the grumpy face.
Love you sweet man.... you've made this year beyond wonderful for your Daddy and me!!
Can't wait to see all the amazing things you do in 2011!
