Dennie Kids: January 1, 2009

Highlights from today: (click here for the pictures)
  • Graham ringing in the New Year again with Dad at 3:00 AM (it was New Year's somewhere, maybe Hawaii!) He got to visit the den for awhile. Then waking up again at 5:30 AM to eat but then I went back to sleep. Reagan & Anderson getting up around 7:30
  • Helping Mom start making a gingerbread house - lots of steps, we only got the walls and roof on today. We'll decorate tomorrow hopefully.
  • Lunch at Grannymom and Grandpa's - hog jowl & black eyed peas plus some yummy chocolate cake. Reagan & Lilly playing in our new Cinderella dresses Grannymom bought us
  • Afternoon naps
  • Supper at Larry's Pizza with Laryn, Alicia, and Shannon's families. We had tons of fun eating and playing all the games. We stayed almost 4 hours! We almost fell into bed when we got home.
