Happy New Year

The kids have been so snuggly! Hopefully this is a sign of a more peaceful year (less sibling turf wars) in our house.

We had a very quiet New Years Eve. We played games, watched UP (Amazing!) and ate snacks. After the kids went to bed, Matt and I had a ping pong tournament until I got tired of losing and proceeded to whip him in backgammon. We had to force ourselves to stay awake until 12:05. Side note: it was ten years ago that night that we got engaged! It seems strange that we have been together for a third of our lives, yet we feel very thankful to have each other. I still feel butterflies in my stomach when Matt comes home! (sorry, you can barf now)

Matt's birthday:

My Grandma used to make angel food cake with cherries in and on it for everyone's birthday and we all loved it. The first time I made it was for Lily's first birthday and I baked a fork inside. This time I forgot to put the cherry chunks inside. I'm cursed. Felt a little sad that I couldn't call her this time to share my cake foibles with her.

Happy birthday Daddy!

Happy New Year!
