Happy New Year

On New Year's eve morning we had all of Steve's family over to celebrate grandpa's birthday. We started some impromptu Pictionary on the new easel, which turned into a competitive cut-throat game of boys vs. girls. The boys were hoping to redeem themselves after a poor showing at Taboo earlier in the week. No luck for them!

This New Year's eve we decided to do a no-kids game night with good friends. We started out the night with some Apples to Apples and cheese fondue, followed by Catch Phrase and many others. Then we broke out the Pictionary to play on the easel with the chocolate fondue. And of course later the Guitar Hero was revived from it's position in the basement. What a fun night!

I haven't had any New Year's resolutions in quite some years, but for some reason I decided this year I needed some. Don't know why - maybe a little motivated by Carrie's goal list on her blog. Here it is:

1. Run a 10K race (no walking)

2. Continue to workout at the gym at least 3 times per week

3. Take a class to learn something new - sewing, cake decorating, or photography

4. Scrapbook at least monthly! I'm so behind on the girls' scrapbooks

5. Buy myself at least 1 article of clothing a month (I know this sounds strange, but I've gotten really bad about spoiling myself)

6. Go on a date night with my sweet hubby at least once a month

7. Read more books! (at least 10 this year - 1 done....9 to go)

8. Pursue a business opportunity (don't know what i want to do, but this is the time to try it, right?) We'll be worldwide, right Carrie?

9. Find a mommies group nearby to connect with more moms.

10. Hike a 14er with Steve!

I know none of these pertain to my girlies, but of course I plan to treasure our time together as a family and do lots of fun stuff with them!
