The Start of Something Great In 2008!

I can't believe that 2008 is already here......it seems like the years keep going faster.... especially now that we have Brinley. But I do have to say that every year gets better and better. I can't wait to see what this year will bring our way. Drew and I have a big list of New Years Resolutions so it should be fun to see how many we can actually accomplish. We always start strong....but it's the finishing part that always seems to get lost somewhere. But this year will be different right???? I posted some pictures of Brinley with her cousin Landon. They rung in the New Years together or at least tried. We thought we had the evening all planned out. Eat a nice dinner, hang out, put the kids to bed have dessert and play games until midnight. Well.......it didn't go quite as we planned we did have a nice dinner and managed to play a good game of Apples to Apples...but the kids going to bed part took some work. We thought a little movie would put Brinley and Landon to sleep....but that only got them more excited. As Brinley and Landon played a good game of Catch me if you can. Brinley would steal Landon's popcorn or water cup and run as he'd try to catch her. They both thought this was hilarious as they chased each other all over. Finally when we got them calmed down we attempted to put them sleep. Brinley did not want to sleep at Landon's house. She wanted her own bed. So after many attempts Brinley stayed up..while we all tried to play games. At around 10:45pm Brinley was a wreck she was so overly tired so we decided to take the trek ( a 2 minute walk) back to our house to put her down in her own bed. So Drew and I tried to ring in the new year together, but 10 minutes before the ball was about to drop we decided to let our eyes finally shut! Maybe next year we'll make it!
