Happy New Year!

 

A little late but anyway, Happy New Year to you all! 

Our New Years Eve was pretty low key as it usually is. 

Earlier in the day Shauna and the boys came over for a visit. Levi loves to do directed drawing videos on YouTube and he drew me this Elf on the Shelf.

The good news is we managed to stay up until midnight! Our celebration consisted of watching the ball drop on our bedroom TV and then falling asleep by 12:05! LOL! I would call that pretty low key!

I did work on New Years Day from 2-8. It was so quiet in there and I was actually bored most of the time! But for $31 an hour, I'll happily be bored for a while! 

Then we had the boys spend the night on Tuesday. It was the only chance we had because I work the rest of the week and they go back to school on the 8th. 

Speaking of the 8th, it's Maxwells birthday and he will be 7! Time sure does fly by! I remember when it felt like I waited forever to have a grandchild and now it's almost 7 years! Here's the post I did when he was born.

We had a little family birthday party for him on Saturday. I asked him what he wanted for his birthday, and he told me "A and X", meaning the light up letters to go with the M he got for Christmas. 

They are pretty cool and light up all different ways. They all connect, and he can control them with his iPad! Modern technology at its most fun!

On the 20th he's going to have a big party at a bowling alley where all his friends and schoolmates are invited! 

That's about it for now. Things are quieting down now as we are in my two least favorite months of the year! At least we had a few birthdays to celebrate this month and I'm gearing up to do the February Photo A Day posts. That usually makes the months more bearable! 

The forecast is saying we should have a mild winter, but if I recall last year we had a mild winter and then got most of our snow in March and April! UGH! No thanks! 

See you the next time and thanks for stopping by!
