happy new year!!!

some exciting things to end the new year, not in order because that would require too much thinking on my end:

1. made turkey and ham for christmas dinner only to underestimate how long it would take reheat fully cooked meat. turns out it takes 3+ hours so we ate the sides for dinner.

2. my parents came to visit for a few days after christmas.

3. and we stayed up to ring in the new year twice. [indiana, who is an hour ahead of us and texas]

4. my parents got to experience all the fireworks before, during and after we rang in the new year.

5. the kids seem to like their christmas gifts this year. a win for santamom.

6. mike and kaylee went ice skating. i did not because i can barely walk on flat ground.

7. went to galveston to shop and see the beach and eat at bubba gumps.

8. watched old videos. we had forgotten how cute kaylee's baby laugh was and how ham sounded before his voice changed.

9. and mike got to see and hear his grandma. [hard to believe she passed away 3 years ago???]

10. i got mad at mike only once and it was only the 2nd day into the new year.
