Its 2011 Already

I can't believe that it is already the year 2011, it seems the older I get the faster the years fly by.  It seems like yesterday that I had my daughter, whom is going to turn four this year.  They aren't lying when they say the years fly by fast. 
This year my sister, her husband, her kids, my brother, his wife, his kids, my baby brother, and me, my daugher and my significant other celebrated the new year at my brothers house.  We really enjoyed ourselves.  My brother and his wife set up different "minute to win it" games for the adults to do.

"Junk in the trunk" He had to shake his butt and get the pingpong balls all out in a minute.  The funny thing is this was an actual game off of the show "Minute to win it".  We also did the penny in the hose game, keep two feathers in the air with your mouth game and unrolling a roll of toilet paper roll by spinning in a circle.  We were all feeling kinda dizzy after the toilet paper game.

The kids all made it to midnight.  Most of the adults were ready to crash after ten

Ringing in the new year!!!

As for resolutions, I am not one to really set a resolution.  I feel that resolutions are made just for people to break.  I like to set goals for the year.  My goal for this year is to get back on track with weight watchers and lose twenty more pounds to reach my ideal weight.

Thank Goodness It Is All Over

I am so glad that the holidays are coming to an end, don't get me wrong I really truly enjoy spending time with my family and having the holiday spirit.  But, the holidays really put a strain on my household chores.  We finally got all of our stuff put away and our house back to normal, a week later.

My family had an awesome christmas this year.  We loved everything that we got from Santa.  I got stuff to decorate my bedroom, redoing it in moons, stars and suns.  So exciting.  And for Peanut, she got way more than enough toys.

Meet Me On Monday

 
Java at Never Growing Old is our host, she asks 5 questions every Monday and we answer.


Questions:
1. What will your Christmas dinner consist of?

2. Do you watch commercials or flip through the channels?

3. How long will you leave your Christmas decorations up?

4. What movie makes you cry every time you watch it?

5. Do you have a Facebook?


Answers:
1) My christmas dinner is going to consist of cornish hens, mashed potatoes and gravy, green bean casserole stuffing and a hot roll for our dinner with my parents, sister and brothers, and the kiddos.


On Christmas Eve we have turkey or ham sandwiches and lots of appetizers. That is when the whole family gets together.


2) I generally watch the commercials if I am in the middle of one of my shows, don't want to miss part of my show from flipping through the channels.  Sometimes, I get up and pick up the house during commercials.

3) I will probably leave them up until the first of the year, but not sure yet.  Depends on my mood honestly.

4) The Titanic, The Notebook...and the list can go on and on

5)Yeah, I have a facebook page. 

Play Date

On Friday December 17th, my baby brother (whom is six) came over to my house and played.  Peanut always enjoys when her uncle comes over to play, since she is an only child and doesn't generally have anyone but mommy and daddy to play with.  Little man always wants to come over and play, so I always try to find a day that is good for all of us for him to come over and play.

My daughter and I have been getting ready for Christmas time, and have been spending a lot of quality time together the last few days.  On the 11th of December, we went and saw Santa Clause and we even saw a real live reindeer.  We have been working on getting all of our presents wrapped and let me tell you we aren't getting much done due to my cats messing with everything.  My peanut even had to play in the little bit of snow that has fallen. 

Our christmas tree before the cats got a hold of it.

I was so excited that peanut actually sat on Santa's lap this year.

When I asked Peanut if she was going to sit on Santa's lap, she said "I will think about it"
