Happy New Year!

[Guest guest]

We slept in because we stayed up late :-) We rented " Office Space " and stopped

it every hour to watch the CTV 2000 coverage (Canadian) of all the time zones.

Didn't Paris have AMAZING fireworks? I loved them! We played " Frustration "

(Trouble) with Arran, ate quesadeas (sp?) and pizza. drank beer, I got

sparkling apple juice (not as good as grape IMHO) and then I played Dominos with

Arran. had gotten up early to go into work that day so he was pretty

tired by the time midnight rolled around. Keely hadn't napped all day, Arran

had a friend over for a little bit but walked her home at 10. Arran and I

finished our Dominos game at 11:58, just in time to watch the time change here

in Edmonton. Keely was sooooo tired, she started whining for " mum mums " to go

to sleep and saying " beeeeed " lol So at midnight I was nursing her to sleep

(she didn't even make it to 12 lol) with Arran cuddled up with me on the couch,

that will be a nice memory, what better place to be huh? sort of dozed in

the rocking chair and I had to ask him for a New Years kiss, we didn't even

toast. We went straight to bed afterwards, I put Keely in her new bed but she

climbed in with us at some point. We got to sleep in until 10:30, Arran was the

first up. We just finished watching " The General's Daughter " that we rented

yesterday too, it was really good. It's snowing here now and getting pretty

cold. I am going to go have a shower and then I have to clean up my desk

because is switching my computer desk (at my request) when one of his

friends comes over later. Right now I have a huge office type desk which takes

up too much room in the livingroom so I'm ging to get my roll top desk back

again (minus the roll top).

Catch you all later :-) Happy New Year!

I thought I would let you all know what we did on New Year's Eve as well! We

spent the day at home being lazy .. always nice. I did take Mae to the DR

to recheck her ears and they're are clear! Another plus!! About 7 PM we

headed over to my MIL's house for a little get together. My SIL and BIL were

there (they are kid-less), my MIL and FIL, Papou (DH's Grandfather) and then

us with the kids. We ate tons of snack food: fresh shrimp w/ cocktail sauce,

crap dip with crackers, Greek honey cake, chex mix, veggies and dip .. You

get the gist. (I even had a few beers!! <~~PARTY ANIMAL) We played cards

and watched live coverage of each city's New Year celebration.. along with

Paris .. Moscow was really neat too and we watched London as well! We put in

a movie for (Rudolph's Shiny New Year) and generally just hung out

and chatted. About 11:45, Mae woke up (to ring in the new year). We got out

our kazoos, hand held noise makers, and little paper things to throw. We all

toasted the New Year with Champagne (and Sprite for !) we kissed and

cheered and had a great time! We took tons of pictures of the kidlets so we

could show them what they were doing when the clock rolled over! It truly

was the best New Year's Eve I've ever spent! And DH agreed. MIL, FIL, SIL

and BIL left for the Casino in Windsor shortly after the clock struck 12. We

are not big gamblers but they are. Then we put the OVER-tired,

OVER-stimulated kids to bed and went to bed ourselves. All in all it was a

wonderful time and we ate too much food and ate even more the next day.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!!!
