ringing in 2010








we ALWAYS love celebrating new year's eve at home.  we always start with a gourmet, home cooked meal with all our favorites followed by some outside fun...fireworks in the driveway and then a neghborhood walk in the dark.  this year we added mario kart on the wii, scrabble, sorry, operation, and strawberry shortcake memory to our list of to-do's.  we finished up with an-almost-midnight snack and then around 11:30 they started to nod off to sleep.  they came so close.  todd and i carried them up to bed then watched the spot in times square where we had just been a few weeks before.  the last decade started with a bang.  the first 5 years gave us our precious children and the favorite years of my life thus far.  the second part took our sweet anna leaving us devastated.  hoping the next 10 years are magical and full of happiness.  if hard times must come, may they be only ones we can endure without broken hearts.  may our children experience days of wonder, smiles, love, and pure joy.  here is to a happy new year and new decade!
