Happy New Year

Wow, I can't believe it's already 2011! I hope all had a wonderful New Year's celebration.

We started our celebration Thursday night around 4:00, Chris, Kristi, Mom, Dad and Tom and myself all went down to Stone Cliff for some wine tasting. Well, got 3 bottles of wine and shared it between us. I think we each got about 2 glasses. Tom and I ordered Apple Wine, Mom and Dad ordered Sweet Cherry Wine, and Chris and Kristi ordered Riesling. All were so good. After Stone Cliff we headed over to Tony Roma's, we made it over by 6:00 just in time to get 1/2 price appetizers and $2 beers. So instead of ordering a whole meal we just ordered 4 different appetizers and since it was before 6:00 we each ordered 2 beers as well. I guess you had to be there, it was pretty funny. After dinner we went up to mom and dad's for a few drinks and little dice. We played "left, right, center" and 6, 5, 4. It was a great night and I think we need more of them.

Friday was a lazy day until the celebrations began. We got to Chris and Kristi's around 5:00. We were in charge of the potatoes. Mom and dad bought the prime rib for Chris and Kristi to make and Erica was in charge of the rolls/buns. Everything was delicious as always. Grandma and Lexi joined us for dinner as well. It was a pretty uneventful night, but its always great hanging out with family. We played shit on your neighbor with all the boys then the adults played The Newlywed Game. Mom and Dad and Grandma and Lexi all left about 10:00 and the rest of us all watched the ball drop at 11:00 on ABC, we couldn't even wait until Midnight! We called it a night before midnight, can you tell we're getting old?

Saturday we took the Christmas tree down and all the Christmas decorations down then headed up to mom and dad's for their "anal" party. That was the email that dad sent out to remind all his sisters about the annual birthday/open house party. It was a great night, lots of family and friends. We called it a night about 10:00.

So my new year's resolution begins again....

1. Exercise, exercise, exercise. Along with my 3 days of Jazzercise, I am going to hit the gym at work. I might as well take advantage of it and since I have a 45 minute lunch break I am going to exercise for at least 1/2 hour during lunch.
2. Healthy eating. Tom and I need to start eating better. We both need this and we know it, its just buying the right foods and portion control. I'm thinking of joining Weight Watchers and both Tom and I both use the process.
3. Babies, that's one goal I'm sure hoping to get! 

Well, now I'm going to make some breakfast, bacon and eggs, since this all starts tomorrow, Monday, so wish us luck and I hope everyone has a wonderful new year!
