Happy New Year

New Year's Day began with a late breakfast of Alysha making pancakes for everyone. We then went to Grandma GiGi's for New Years dinner. Danielle, JJ and Logan, Justin, Rebecca and Carrie, Alysha and Savannah and me. Earl had to officiate a Division II basketball game in Hobbs that day, (who plays basketball on New Year's Day anyway???) so he wasn't able to play our new "provocative" game. We had a wonderful dinner and played games, a new game call "The Things", it was alot of fun. You answer a question with answers you hope no one will guess is you. So we did that for awhile and then the fun really began later that evening. As Danielle and JJ went home, Logan got sick and threw up everywhere in the car, so much so, they had to stop in Socorro and buy a new car seat since he couldn't stay in the one he had thrown up in, then Justin got sick, then Carrie, then Me, then Alysha, then Rebecca, then GiGi, then Danielle and it was not fun. Hopefully everyone will still be willing to get together next year and this won't become a "tradition" of getting sick after New Year's.
Carrie will be 1 year old January 23rd. She is walking everywhere, has 1 tooth and it looks like maybe another one coming through as well. She is dainty and very petite and absolutely adorable. We loved getting to see her! Logan who is 2, is a man's little boy, he is full of enegery 24 hours a day until he collaspes and goes to sleep, then he is ready to go again. But he is also incredibly sweet and loving and will melt your heart with his "I sorry, or I love you Nana". Savannah is almost 3, her birthday is February 13th. She is talking up a storm now and doing much better with her walking and balance. She loves to do somersaults on the bed and on the chaise lounge in their living room. She loves the nursery at church and loves music!!! She will even tell you in the car, I don't like that song, change that song when you are listening to the radio or a CD. Liam and Ben are much farther away and we don't get to interact with them as much as we would like. They are both adorable and fun little boys. Liam is 2 1/2 and Ben is 11 weeks old. They both have tons of hair, Ben's hair is a little bit wild as you will see if you check out Brooke's blog. I love how well Liam talks to Papa and I on the phone when they call. He always wants us to come play at his house.
I hope to have some photos posted soon of all the grandbabies. They are by far my greatest joy in life!
