Happy New Year!

Back to reality this week. We had such a great holiday; relaxing but lots of fun too! Brian was off for two weeks, Grace was on break from school, and I took the two weeks off from babysitting as well. We didn't have many solid plans and it was lovely.

I decided that today would be the start of my new year. January 1st has always been a lazy day for me and this year was no different. The four of us hung out in our jammies all morning, then went to Zilla and Bampers' for the afternoon and had supper there. Since Brian and Grace were both off from work and school until today, it seemed a good day to get back into the swing of things.

I am not normally one to make resolutions but I do have some goals in mind for this year, one of which is to post on this blog more often. Looking back now, I didn't post much at all last year. Since the whole point of this blog is to act as a baby book/scrap book for the girls, I really want to make more of an effort to post here, even if it's just a short post of something funny one of the girls said or a photo.

So, here's a little something. We often wake up to the sound of Anna chatting to herself in her room across the hall. Yesterday morning, I heard her talking to herself about the fireworks that Brian and Bampers set off on New Years Eve. I laid in bed just listening to her:
"Daddy and Bampers made pink, and Daddy and Bampers made purple, and some geen! and some lellow! And dey were noisy! And some did a whistle! (then I could hear her trying to whistle with her fingers in her mouth, the way Zilla does) but I can't do da whistle! It was a good fire show!" 

Such a great sound to wake up to in the morning!
