12/26—Chad and Darrin got together to play Eclipse. They always have a great time playing games. This particular game is not wife approved so we weren’t allowed didn’t want to play. If my memory proves me correct, Darrin won this game for the first time ever :) He was ecstatic!
12/27--Totally LOVING the fitbit I got for Christmas!!
12/28--Andrew’s Christmas card to me:
Dear Mom, I don’t like all the jobs you give us, and I like the time you let us play video games. Love, Andrew
12/29--Luke went through a fun phase where he wrote me love notes all the time. I did not complain one bit!
12/30—Piggy back rides from brothers are the best!
12/31—New Year’s Eve! We hosted the big party at our house this year. We tried a new tradition of decorating the tree with new year’s decor after all the Christmas stuff had been taken down. Inside the balloons was money: bills and coins. The kids popped them at midnight. Josh was the jackpot winner and popped the balloon with a $5 bill. I didn’t get any pics cause the moment was just that exciting!
Instead of the usual junk food snacks that we normally have, we made fajitas for dinner. And we of course had some treats for dessert! Luke took advantage of that :)
We played lots of rounds of our new favorite game: Camel Up.
Then we prepped for our first annual glow stick dance party!
It was a.w.e.s.o.m.e!! The kids had a blast!!
Then we played a few rounds of Telestrations. It made for lots of laughs, especially when dad’s secret word was fart. I thought the kids were getting out of hand so I censored the word when the notebook got to me. And then it turned out to be what the word really was. Good grief! I expected the 12 year old boy to make that his secret word, but not Darrin!
Getting ready for the big count down!!
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
Happy New year!!!! Can’t wait to see what this year brings!
1/2—Andrew played his last soccer game of that indoor season.
We got a baby sitter so we could go out for Darrin’s birthday. Before we left we had cake. Then Darrin and I headed to the mall to do a little bit of shopping and eat at the Cheesecake Factory. We had a fun night together!
We love this Daddy of ours! Happy Birthday!
It is apparent that I can not work out at the gym, write down everything that eat, meal plan, cook healthy food, lose weight (7 pounds to be exact!) and blog all at the same. But sheesh! I’m going to try my hardest in the month of Feb. xoxoxoxox

aww-loved this blog post! Andrew's note totally had me cracking up! did it work? ;) and what a fun idea with the Christmas tree! I'm always so antsy to take ours down that I've never thought of something cute like this!
I totally lost the game. Chad is impossible to beat. Thanks for thinking I had the capacity to beat him.
Loved the catch up for the holidays. You are such a great mom Kim!
