It's New Years Eve 10p.m.. Troy is asleep and my eyes are getting droopy but the kids are wide awake and ready to ring in the new year!
I usually make pork and sauerkraut on new years eve. It's something my dad and mom did every year so I try to keep up the tradition. The kids won't touch it and Troys not to thrilled with it either so it's pretty much just me that will eat it. I hear the best thing to have on New Years Eve is black eyed peas ( wink to Janice ) ! Publix had 2/$3.00 cans of them on sale today......I almost got them (smile Janice) :) instead I am making bean soup with leftover ham.
Tomorrow is our big oyster party. The family comes over for Troys steamed oysters and laughs. He looks forward to it every year.
I hope everyone has a fun, safe New Year... hugs

I can't believe the year is almost over! Today was our last service of 2008 and I had such an emotional time thinking of all the blessings and grace and favor that God gave to me this past year. I could not have gotten this far without Him! When I think of how this year started and where I am now as it ends....it amazes me.

Happy New Year to everyone
The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:
The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:
The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel, and I will bless them.

Christmas

Christmas was wonderful here! Very busy day of going here and there but in the end it was very nice. Dawson was up at 3:30 am to wake up Dylan to show him Santa came by. He had his flash light on and shining it on all the gifts. I don't know if they ever went back to sleep. Caitlin took 2 naps Christmas day, she was a very tired little girl.

I leave you with this picture that sums up the end of the day, pretty much how I felt too!
