Great Start to the New Year
Our New Year started out in a positive direction.
New Years day which is also Amy’s Birthday found us enjoying a great family holiday meal and celebration. We were surprised that there were gifts involved! We expected a very small holiday but in fact Me, Amy and the boys were totally spoiled. Josh and Amy went up earlier in the day to begin cooking. This was the first holiday dinner that either of them has ever cooked. Josh was in control of the ham and turkey, Amy was in control of vegetables and my mom was in control of desserts. Carrie always has control of the deviled eggs because nobody can make that as good as she can.
Amy spent the fall knitting socks for both my Mom and Carrie and she also made a magic ball of yarn for my mom. My mom also loves to knit and crochet. This ball of yarn includes little gifts within that my mom will find as she creates her next project using the yarn. We managed to find a coffee maker for Josh and bought him a pound of coffee and once we found out what my sister had in store for Donnie, Amy and Josh went out and got him something that would add to his enjoyment.
I was the only one with the camera so you don’t get to see me and Amy opening gifts but we were spoiled. My mom gave us a heated mattress pad which was so desperately needed and matching fleece PJ’s also needed and very welcome. My sister bought each of us a shirt and pant set along with slippers and everyone got a Starbucks gift card. We got an extra treat of fancy cocoa. The boys spent the night with my Mom and Sis and Amy and I went on home to enjoy a nice quiet evening in a warm cozy bed with our new PJ’s sipping on luxury cocoa…beautiful ending to the first day of 2010
