Happy New Year!

     Wow! I can't believe it is 2010! 2009 seemed to fly by way too quickly! All in all I think we had a great year and I am excited to see what the new year holds for us! (sorry for all the exclamation points)
New Year's Eve  was one of the best I have ever had! We had lunch with family and it was great to meet Nate's Aunt, Uncle and cousin. After lunch we hit the movie store and rented tons of movies and then picked up a bunch of snacks and noisemakers. Once home we set up movies and snacks and just relaxed.... for about 10 minutes and then we couldn't hold back anymore! We pulled out all the noisemakers and hats and were INCREDIBLY noisy! It was great!! Finally we settled down and watched movies until midnight, the boys however did not make it, we watched the ball drop and pulled out the sparkling cider and made more noise, waking up Coda, who smiled and stumbled to bed. Melody also hopped into bed and we left the exhausted Cadence on the couch. Nate and I climbed into bed and chatted for a couple of hours. It was wonderful! New Year's Day we did absolutely nothing! We laid around, snacked on whatever we could find and were incredibly lazy as a family! Best New Year's ever! I am so anxious to see what lies ahead for my family and I!
I don't usually set resolutions, I think we should strive to be better all the time and should constantly  be making goals and whatnot for ourselves. I have decided that I have a couple of goals for the year, however. The first goal is to pay off all our debt and to set up dedicated savings accounts for the kids. The second is to go on at least one "expensive" vacation and on one whole family camping trip. We also would like to look for a larger place and plan to move, debt free, next spring.
Happy New Year all, I hope this year is as great or better than last!
