Happy New Year!!!

We had friends over again this NYE and it was so much fun! We had shredded BBQ Chicken Sandwiches, fruit, chips, spinach artichoke dip and veggies. Nothing super fancy but just right for us and our guests, the Burtons. Dan, Erin and Emma are such a nice family who we love having over. The girls played for a bit and then Chuck and Deanna came over and we turned the Kinect on and played and played and played! We bowled, did some "High Adventures" and a few other sports. We had some cookies and sparkling juice before watching and relaxing with The Snowman. The Burtons left after that, about 10 or so, but Chuck and Deanna stayed to go through my maternity clothes since they are expecting baby number 1 in June. We all (yes Linnea too) stayed up til 11 and toasted, smooched and said Happy New Year with the New Yorkers. Chuck and Deanna left right after that and we got Linnea to bed, fed Harper once more and went to bed shortly afterwards. It was a great way to ring in the New Year...we hope everyone has a wonderful 2013! One of my possible goals for the year is to do some kind of race every month...so we will see how that goes. 




playing kinect!

cheers!

Happy New Year!
Chuck and Deanna who will be Harper's Godparents :)


On New Year's Day I brought Linnea to Como Zoo, for the Happy Zoo Year celebration. She did some crafts, 


 we watched the balls drop...



 and then ran into our neighborhood friends while walking through the "jungle".


 We went to see the poinsettas at the conservatory which were beautiful!


 but maybe not as beautiful as this blue tongue from an airhead candy she ate!
What a fun way to start the New Year! It was freezing though!
