Happy New Years!

Normally TJ and I want to do something fun on New Year's Eve, but for some reason we both didn't really feel like it this year. We were okay with just hanging out at home. It worked out because Sophia got the stomach bug the night before and then we were able to have the missionaries from our church over to hang out with us. They aren't allowed to stay out till midnight because of safety so we all celebrated New York's New Year's Eve at 9:00pm.  We were quite wild with party hats/crowns, noise makers, sparklers, fireworks, pop-its, sparkling cider, munchy snacks, and games.

Here's the group

Sophia and I are ready for some sparkler fun!

3,2,1 Happy New Year (at 9:00pm)

CHEERS!

Sophia had some pop-it time too!

 Of course TJ and I stayed up till midnight, but all in all we had a very fun, low key night! The next day, on New Years Day TJ, Sophia, and I talked about New Year goals. I am not one to make a big deal about New Year's Resolutions, but this year we all wrote some goals down as fo-pa (sp?) as that sounds. Sophia did a really good job coming up with goals for herself with out any help. Here are
Sophia's goal:
1.Practice hitting to the outfield (in t-ball)
2. Brush her teeth
3. Stop sucking thumb
4. Learn to ride a 2 wheel bike
5. Practice math
6. Help friends.

Our goals are all typed up and placed where we can visually see them daily. Here goes nothing and hoping for a happy, healthy, and successful 2013!
