can you tell i'm excited about 2010? i just want to put 2009 behind me as it was a trying time (financial wise) and although i am greatful to have made it through and learned a lot i am looking forward to the plans that were put on hold over this past year....like more house reno and business ventures. =]
i want to jump back a few weeks and express how much i enjoyed my holidays. aside from being tired of eating holiday foods, i am thankful for the time spent with family and friends. it seems that Christmas morning changes every year as the kiddos get older and their excitement isn't as obvious (well, Brody still squealed, lol). i think they enjoyed their gifts but they looked more like zombies than wide-eyed young-ins. lol
THEN...
the new year's day brought my daughter's 14th birthday. i just can not believe every year when my kiddos get older. i can't help but be flooded with memories of when they were smaller. this year's party was VERY low-key. if anyone knows me there has not been a birthday party for my children that DID NOT include balloons and other party decor but this year, my sweet Syd was just surrounded by a few distant relatives and a fun cake. i have promised her a day at the mall with a friend. she has saved her money from the holidays and her birthday so she has PLENTY to spend. =]
well, i'm sure i will be sharing much more creative decor ideas, home renovations and the crazy things my family does throughout this 2010 year. stay tuned. lol
Happy Happy Birthday to your "baby"... mine just turned 13 in October, and I'm totally with you on the memories flooding back when they were happy and still sweet as sugar. ;)
