Happy 2009!

I hope everyone had a safe, happy, fun filled New Years Eve! Ours didn't turn out as I would've planned it, but it was still spent with the people I love the most in the world - my family, so I can't complain... I only cried a little at midnight, in the comfort of my old bedroom at my parents, when I allowed myself to realize that I wasn't ringing in the New Year with a sweetheart. I don't know what the New Year will hold -- who knows, maybe my husband and I will work things out and we'll be celebrating New Year's Eve 2009 as a happy couple. Or, I'll still be single, but I'll be

happy about things. The year is full of possibilities!

Sophie stayed up to Midnight for her very first time, and she had such a great time. She had a dance party with Grandmom, and played Wii bowling with her big brothers. Peyton couldn't hang and ended up falling asleep by 11 - he gave it a noble try, though.

Here's Peyton doing bowling with Christopher:

And here's Sophie taking a turn!

And me & Christopher celebrating his actual 13th Birthday!
