Our New Years

Jaylin and I rung in the New Year at home. We ordered pizza and wings for dinner and enjoyed spending time together. My mom and stepdad were out celebrating their 2 year marriage anniversary but came home a little before midnight and asked us to join them upstairs to watch the ball drop. So we all sat, watched the ball drop, and counted down to the new year. This morning we were both actually up by 930 which is probably the earliest we have both been up this week since we have fallen into a bad habit of staying up late and sleeping in. We got dressed and went out to breakfast with Aimee and Alex. We got home from breakfast around 1130 when Jaylin decided to be a bum and go back to sleep. I had to wake him up at 2 to go over to Annie's (my best friend/Jaylin's godmothers) house to exchange Christmas presents. Kali (Annie's neice) moved about an hour away this summer so it made it difficult to plan a time where we could all get together for our Christmas this year. Today was the day we could do it. We were excited to see them and to exchange presents with them. Jaylin got two computer games from Annie and a gift card to Applebees from Kali. I got 2 picture frames and scrapbook paper from Annie. Annie and Kali loved their gifts from us. We are looking forward to next weekend when we are going to Disney on Ice (part of their Christmas present from us) together for the 4th year. We enjoyed hanging out with them for an hour before Kali had to go back to her mother's house. When we got home we sat down and had dinner with my mom, stepdad, and brother. We enjoyed a nice, relaxing day spent with some of the most important people in our lives.
