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.
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!
Happy New Year! Ours was low key as well. That drawing by Levi is very good.
ReplyDeleteOh and Happy Birthday to Max! 🎂🎉🎈
ReplyDeleteLevi is a very talented artist!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Max! I really like those letters.
ReplyDeleteSomehow I missed about your new job. What are you doing?
Happy New Year!
I'm working as a concierge at a senior living facility called Story Point.
DeleteSeems like grandkids grow up faster than our kids. My oldest grandchild is 32, haven't seen him in years. :(
ReplyDeleteLow key is the only way I ever spend New Years eve. I was asleep way before midnight.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't mind being bored at work for that kind of pay either. I would volunteer to work all the holidays...lol
Happy birthday to Max
Happy (belated) New Year, Jeanette!
ReplyDelete"watching the ball drop on our bedroom TV and then falling asleep by 12:05" -HA!
I love Levi's drawing. And cute how Max wanted the A and the X. I guess it's good he doesn't have a really long name.
One thing about working in a care facility - they're open all the time. But yes, get that holiday pay!
Sometimes a low key New Year's is the BEST! Love his light up letters for his name, so cool! Hope you and your family having an amazing time at his birthday at the bowling alley! Happy New Year!

Happy Birthday Max.
ReplyDeleteLevi is really talented.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to Max-and Happy Belated New Year to you.
Happy New Year and Happy Birthday to Max. I love those letters, so cool. At least you made it to midnight. I think I was in bed by 9pm.
ReplyDeleteAwwww I love those light-up-letters! I'll have to find a D for Dagny for her birthday in June. So cute the way he wanted the A and the X! We were asleep shortly after midnight on NYE too. It does nothing for me. We had a nice get-together on NYD though. I hope I get to see you again in 2024! And I need your address so that next year, I can send you a Christmas card! xoxo
ReplyDeleteSo wonderful to celebrate your grandson's birthday - amazing how kids today are so in tune with technology. I'm glad you had a wonderful New Year's, and a great next day at work. That is always a blessing. I am still waiting on my first grandchild :) Many blessings to you!
ReplyDeleteLevi has some artistic bones; the drawing so cool!
ReplyDeleteYay for sleepovers and high paying work days!
I stayed up about 10 minutes longer than you this year.
Happy birthday to Maxwell. Does he like going by Max or Maxwell?
Aww! Happy Birthday to Max! Handsome sweetie!
ReplyDeleteWe went to bed as usual...no fireworks for us.
Happy New Year Buddy!
hugs

Levi's drawing is awesome! You made a great hourly rate for New Year's Day. We haven't had a ton of snow this winter, but those single digit temps have been killing me.
