Once again, we kicked off our New Years Eve by having a seafood feast up at Aunt LeAnns house! She served up lobster, crab, shrimp, and of course cheese soup! YUMMO! I brought the salad and appetizers, but there was so much food to dig into, we never even bothered with the appetizers :)
Justin's cousin Jill joined us for the feast, and we all had a good time :) The holidays were a little chaotic for all of us, so we were looking forward to a nice quiet evening in the canyon...no traffic to deal with, no loud parties...just the 5 of us kicking back at the house.
Jordyn ate her weight in garlic bread and had fun using the little seafood fork to fish out the crab, while i ignored all dining etiquette and used my fingers :) LeAnn had to work early the next morning, so we headed down to our place around 10:30 and watched Trading Places. I love that movie!
Jordyn fell asleep around 11:30 and the rest of us stayed up long enough to wish each other a happy new year, and then we all fell asleep too. What can i say, it was a super mellow evening, but we needed it!
Today, i spent the afternoon taking down all of the Christmas decorations...sigh! I really miss the lighted Christmas tree...it really brightens our living room and makes things cozy, but i knew if i didnt do it now, i wouldnt have time later.
Meanwhile, after i cleaned up the living room, Jordyn made another disaster there with her hot wheels. "Jordyn, The Musical", was performed non-stop while she played, and it was hilarious! Her cars were all singing to each other about who was the fastest, who was the shiniest, etc...and it went on for almost 2 hours. Then she moved on to her ponies upstairs, which by the way, are also theater performers, so the singing continues as i type. :) Indeed, not a bad way to start off the New Year! Cheers!
