2009

I can't think of a better way to bring in the new year than to be with a group of friends that i haven't seen in awhile. Yesterday Ang twisted my arm (okay, she didn't have to twist that hard) to come over that night for a new years get together. . . with jaely. Since we got the invitation a few weeks ago, i couldn't figure out what to do with Jaelynne. We couldn't get a sitter, so we were just going to hang out at home. But she reminded us that she has a crib, pack n play, monitor, white noise, and people that really wanted to see us and jaely. She was very convincing. And Jaely was very flexible. She didn't go to sleep until 9:30 (two and a half hours past her bedtime) and when she woke up and started crying it was 11:50, so we just kept her up and brought in the new year kissing our daughter.

We attempted to blow up the corbn's house as we lit something on fire that had a skull and crossbones. We dipped banana in chocolate and ate salamie in the shape of a flower. We played mafia. I was killed immediatly in the first round and was just a townsperson for all the rounds. And we visited with each other. I miss those people. TJ was glad too that he chose not be a hermit for he was told of a game called lux that will now make him more of a hermit (thanks to Rob).

Thanks ang and ryan for having us over and thank you ang for presenting a good arguement for why we should come with jaely. She slept well the rest of the night.
