Grandpa's boy. Leighton LOVES his Grandpa.
We had a great New Year's Eve and New Years Day. On New Year's Eve Grandma and Grandpa came over for dinner and fire works. The kids both loved the fire works and we had a great time. I was asleep WAY before midnight, we all were.
New Year's Day we hung out at home, I made lots of food.....black eyed peas and all the things my mom always made us eat. I couldn't get Anna Claire to eat the peas or the green beans (the only thing green they will all eat) but the rest of us ate it all. I just don't get it, she must get it from Matt, because I LOVED vegetables, peas, etc. Matt wont' touch most vegetables so I don't fix them much anymore. I guess I've let him convert us to his way of eating. I'm still working on him....some old habits die hard. My mom and I were talking about how silly it is that we insist on eating this stuff every year because it is not working :) It's still fun to carry on the tradition. I love the traditions from my childhood. My parents were BIG on tradition and now I love it.
I was thinking about the Christmas that Matt proposed to me and the New Year's following it. It snowed New Year's Day and it was beautiful. I was on cloud nine. I was most certainly not asleep at 10 pm that year. Wow how times have changed. This has been a very random post, I need to go to bed.

Oh, I LOVE it. Sounds exactly like our story. New Years in with the kiddos, Raelee and Brad with the veggies, AND the christmas engagement and snow. Isn't that hilarious. We need to get the kids together one day. They would have a blast. Hope all is going well with #3 and you stay clear of the chicken pox!
