New Years Day!

We usually have a gathering at our house for New Years Eve, but this year was a little quiet. Mom was in town and we really didn't feel like doing much. We ate boiled crawfish and they all were in bed before midnight. Ryan gave up at 10:30, Mom and Cullen gave in at 11, and I caved at 11:35. It isn't any fun by yourself!!

New Years Day Uncle Steve, Granny, and Uncle Pat joined us for lunch. I forget what all we had, but it was pretty amazing. Of course we had black eyed peas and cabbage just in case the old wives tales prove to be true!

My birthday is December 28th, and I received this as a present from wonderful lady!! 

It is absolutely amazing and I could never say thank you enough!!

Of course I had to play around with it. This is just a random shot of Cullen at the top of our stairs!

Granny & Uncle Pat watching the Rose Parade. She loves that parade.

"Unka Pat" & "Unka Cullen!"

He thought he was a big boy because he was able to eat with a tv tray like Uncle Pat and Granny.

All in all it was a great day. I was able to take the Christmas tree down and get our dining room back into a room instead of a dump! We took naps, and did absolutely nothing most of the day. It was just what we all needed! 

We had a great first day of 2011, and we were all hopeful that the year would continue in the same direction.....
