Happy New Year and Happy Birthday (to me)!

Well..... our plans for New Year's changed when our babysitter came down with food poisoning . Brandon and I and some friends were planning on going out.... but instead he stayed home and rang in the New Year with the kiddos. I went out with a few friends. At first I wasn't sure how much fun I would have but I had a blast! I missed my hubby, of course, but it was nice to be out with the girls! We started off the night with a good dinner and a few glasses of wine. By the end of the night we had made our way to a dance club where we ran into more people we knew!

I tried to keep the drinking to a minimum because I didn't feel like spending my birthday hungover! I rarely dance and I confess I have no rhythm but I had fun attempting to dance. By the end of the night I had to kick off my heels.... this momma isn't used to being out in clubs till two am! It is a rarity for me to go out like this...... I didn't even do it much before we had kids, but it was  a nice change and a fun way to spend the last night of 2011.

No, not some random guy! He was the best man in our wedding and a good friend of hubby's and I

When the countdown began it was extra special for me because I am not just counting down to a New Year but I am counting down to my birthday! So... another year had come and gone. My birthday was spent in a low key manner. I slept in, watched football (my Seahawks lost ) ate delicious red velvet cake the hubby made, and spent time with family. I got some pretty amazing presents too. Of course, I forgot to take pics, though.

 Wishing you all a blessed New Year!
