Every year we go out for a nice dinner celebration. This year we had a special dinner at Texas Roadhouse the Sunday before New Year's Eve cuz Daddy had to work all day. The family request for for mama to whip up a special meal. As long as I have the request, I am always ready to make dinner. Started at noon and enjoyed the kitchen thoroughly this year. Daddy was beyond happy to walk into a house that smelled like yeast and homemade bread that went along lovely with the two dishes I created from scratch. Oh and also beyond happy that he had a homemade pecan pie.
We had a movie marathon. Mom won the vote and got her way...we watched Despicable ME 2 that they bought me for Christmas. Then we watched Disney's The Secret World of Arrietty. That left us with time to dance and watch about 30 minutes of the countdown!
I held my boy in my arms on the couch as the ball fell and daddy had his baby girl in his arms... Daddy and I are the luckiest parents.
