New Year's Eve 2005

We had planned for my sister to keep Drew and Mikayla so that Craig and I could get something to eat and then go bowling for a little while. We were planning on being home before 12 though so that we could ring in the new year with our little angels! Those plans changed when my sister informed me that since she had to work all day, she didn't want to keep her sweet niece and nephew. Thanks Jennine (LoL)!! Anyway, it all worked out for the best because we were able to spend the whole evening with our precious angels. We went to Walmart (Craig calls this our second home) to get some snack food and then went to McDonald's to get the kids some supper. Then, we headed back home to wait for 2006! Drew and Mikayla wait for the ball to drop with mommy!

Mikayla and Drew with daddy. Drew isn't really asleep in this picture, he was pretending! It wasn't long after this picture, though, that they were both asleep. Last year, they were awake when the ball dropped to see fireworks and wish everyone a happy new year! This year, though, neither of them had gotten a nap so we didn't think they would make it until 12. They didn't, they were out a little after 10! Still it was a very HAPPY NEW YEAR, and we feel very blessed!!
