New Years Rockin Eve!

For New Years Eve 09 we went to the Elephant Bar for dinner just the 3 of us. It was nice. We had a great dinner and Molly did pretty well. She was scared of the elephant at first, but quickly made friends. We are looking forward to having a fun, relaxing weekend. We took most of these before we left for dinner, Molly was feeling "gorgeous"! That is her new saying: "Im gorgeous!!!" To which I reply, "Yes, you are!!!!"

Hopes for 2010...

I hope that we all remain healthy!

I hope that we are all prosperous!

I hope that there is tons of travel!

I hope for lots of family time!

I hope that this is one of the best years yet!

Most of all I hope that Molly continues to grow and be as perfect as ever!

Best of all....Mommy got a new Mac!!!!

Merry Christmas everyone! Today was a wonderful day! Molly woke up to a candy cane trail left by Santa that led her downstairs to all her presents. She was very excited! She seemed to like everything, but liked the Lightening McQueen bubble bath car and Minnie Mouse water bottle best! Go figure. She really liked the rug that she can drive her cars on. That was a Daddy pick. Go Daddy! She was so funny when she opened presents, she would say..."OH my Goodness!" when she would first see what the present was. It was so cute.

Last night Andy and I exchanged gifts and we were both very excited to say the least. I got a new Mac computer! Which is going to make my life soooo much better! This is my second blog on it and it is going well! Andy got a PlayStation 3 which he LOVES! My 36 year old teenage boy ;)

After all the presents we made Gingerbread cookies and decorated them and I made a HUGE ham, stuffing and green bean casserole. It was very yummy! After dinner we went to see a light display that I thought Molly would really enjoy, but she could care less. Oh well. You just never know!

It was a wonderful day, but the best part is just being able to hang out with my wonderful husband and beautiful daughter. They bring me such joy and happiness. I am truly blessed.

We are looking forward to the next few days and our week in Florida in January.

Merry Christmas Everyone!!
