Oh and Happy New Year, Too!

Well happy new year everyone!  It is the first day of 2011 and we are really looking forward to this year.  We hope you are richly blessed this upcoming year.  Last night we went to dinner with some YAMs friends at Cactus Grill.  It is one of our favorite places to eat and we ate with some of our favorite people!
 
Still working out the camera issues... a little dark but still cute nonetheless. :)

 The group minus a few that left before we could snap a pic.

After dinner we went over to Andrew and Leah Kneisler's house to eat more and play games before ringing in the new year.  We played Balderdash for several hours and it was really a fun game!  I had never played it before and it was so funny and crazy.  Then about 10 til 12 we gathered all around, got out Leah's pots and pans and counted down to 2011.  Jay assumed the role of Dick Clark as he watched the second hand tick down... We all shouted 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 and ran outside to bang on the pots and pans and shout "Happy New Year!!!!"  It was so fun.  Then since it was about 15 degrees outside we came back in to cheers sparking grape juice and watch the fireworks from the kitchen windows!  Then of course we were about to fall asleep so we came home and went right to bed!  No pictures though... sorry guys. :(

Today we had to get real and take down our Christmas decorations... so sad.  I can't believe it is already over.  Our house looks so empty and boring without the decs all up!  Although that was an unfortunate event, we had the special treat of seeing our good friends David and Sarah Camp today!  They were in town for their anniversary and we had lunch and went shopping on the plaza together.  So fun to see them and hang out for a few hours.

This was taken AFTER we devoured the 6 rolls of sushi we ordered.  So delish.

Now we are back at home relaxing together watching the Fiesta Bowl (Go Sooners!) with my little sis!  A wonderful long weekend for relaxing and celebrating the new year.  One more day before it's back to work again... :) or rather :(

  1. OK, I had no idea you had a blog! I don't do a very good job with mine, but I'm kind of a blog junkie. Now I feel cheated that I haven't been reading yours. :) Stumbled across it on FB.
