2010 Kickoff

Our 2010 got off to a great start! On New Year's Eve Chris and Lisa came up to our place. We pretty much played Super Mario Brother's all night and even decided that playing was more interesting than watching the ball drop. But we did take a quick break to drink some sparkling cider at midnight. Other highlights of the night include watching Travis Pastrana jump a car over 250 feet, playing with Sydney and Cooper, pizza, and chips and dip. It was fun to just relax and enjoy a night together. This picture is not from that night, I didn't take any, but I love it! So funny that we all ended up matching!


On New Year's Day, we went to the movie, "The Princess and the Frog" with my family. Sydney really enjoyed the beginning. Before the movie even started it showed a little segment of Mickey Mouse on the tug boat. Sydney was so excited, "Allie, MICKEY MOUSE!" When Sydney watches movies she loves to point out all the things she loves or recognizes, like "horse!" "frog!" "princess!" For the first 15 minutes, she kept this up. Then, she watched for another, maybe 15 minutes, and then she was restless. She changed laps a few times, had a little bit of popcorn, and drank half our drink. When that phase was over, she was ready to leave. Luckily, she was being quiet, so we got her to sit still long enough that she fell asleep. Matt also fell asleep. But I, myself, loved the movie. Disney needs to do more of the old school animation!

On Sunday, we had a little party with all of my old roommates. We drove up to Kelli's place in Centerville, and had some delicious soup with Kelli's rolls of course, italian sodas, and yummy desserts. Food is ALWAYS a big part of our parties. Which is very appropriate, because the menu itself reminds me a lot of these girls! I have to say, we have a lot of fun together. We reminisced about old times, played some fun games, and just enjoyed each others company! It's been a long time since we've all been together, luckily Stacie was able to make the trip! This party was definitely a highlight of my holiday season!
