happy new year!

we had an amazing 2010. it was such a good year it was hard to let it go. although, i think 2011 is going to be fabulous as well. im ready for it.

our new year's eve day was spent getting snacks ready for a little get together we were having that night. it was samara's birthday and her husband was gone so i wanted to make it extra special for her. she had a couple of her friends come over as well - cathrin and nada.

jeremy and i made hot atrichoke dip and hot crab dip, both of which were insanely tasty. we had baked cupcakes for the birthday girl and had veggies, crackers, and sausage and cheese. nothing too major. they came over around 8pm and thats when we started eating. it was a fun time. we all talked and cathrin and nada pretty much fought over holding xavier. it was cute.

when it got close to midnight we all got ready and headed outside to see the fireworks. its legal here to set off fireworks, just not on base. They were so beautiful and xavier loved them so much! it was pretty cold so we didn't stay out there long. After that we went back home for a bit and then jeremy drove samara, cathrin, and nada to the train station so they could go out. on the way back jeremy got a ticket from a MP on base. it was really stupid and jeremy didn't do anything wrong. what a great way to start out the new year, eh?

xavier fell asleep while jeremy was out. when he got home we stayed up for a while watching shows and stuff. it was about 4 when we finally went to bed.

in the morning we got up and i made cinnamon rolls. we pretty much vegged out the whole day. Ito was really nice.

im glad we had a nice and relaxing new year. we all enjoyed it and that's what counts.
