we celebrated our new year down in st. george. it was suppose to just be a resting point on the way to the utah game in el paso; but somehow, between the orange peel and having a big nice house to stay in, we never found our way out.
our new year's eve started off with a big bang, the big bang theory marathon, that is (i love that show.). and then mad and i threw a last minute, sparkle, pajama party for our little family to rock in 2012. we went to target (shocked are we?) on saturday and got some dollar items, clearanced christmas decorations, a few treats and put together a pretty decent little shindig to say goodbye to what was a great 2011. we played games (spongebob cranium, battleship) and talked about our favorite memories from the past year. mad put on a rock show with his paper jams guitar, and max, again, showed us how quickly he can master a lego hero factory figure. horns were blown, {easy to clean} confetti was thrown, kisses were shared and our first family photo of 2012 was taken. it was a grand time...up until about 1:15 a.m. when maddy started bawling and said, "i'm just so tired." then we had our first great sleep of the new year. take a look...
{going to florida was the best part of 2011 for maxer.}
{mad's favorite part of 2011 was surfing at the beach house.}
{max's pictionary-- be sure to write the word first then draw the picture.=)}
{meanwhile, mad must make sure eeryone knows the correct answer.}
{we had pomegranate drinks, ate our 12 grapes at midnight and had blacked-eyed peas the next morning, so we should be set with plenty of good coming our way in 2012. also, kalani went to our house on the first to watch the football game we recorded. so, we also had a tall, dark, handsome man as the first person to visit our home which is supposedly suppose to bring something good.}
happy new year to all i love!!
2012 is looking bright so far. i am very hopeful and impossibly excited.
