I am hoping you all have a wonderful New Years whether at home or out celebrating. Usually we stay and head to bed early but we are going out to a family Bunco party. Not sure how that will go with a three year old running around but we will just leave when she hits the wall. We had a nice day celebrating our daughter's 14th bday yesterday. She wanted to go to the mall with friends and have lunch. Hubby and I hung out for a couple of hours while they shopped and met them for lunch. Hubs figured out he had not been to a mall in about 15 years. What you do for your kids. It was nice and watching the girls have fun is the best part.
Many blessings to you and yours in the coming year. No matter what, the ups and downs, coming to this little place in life, where women lift one another up and send encouraging words as we share our lives, is something I am so thankful for. So glad to be in this community. Happy New Year to you and yours.
happy birthday to your daughter! And happy New Year to you! We are supposed to go to friend's house tonight, but I am sick, so I don't know if we're even going. Bummer!

ReplyDeleteI love to go to the mall to "people watch" but I never go to buy. The mall is the very last place I would ever go to shop. Hope you have a super New Year!
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated Birthday to your daughter and Happy New Year to your entire family.
ReplyDeleteMy twins turned 20 on New Years Eve. So that was a great day for us. Happy New Years to you and your family.

Hi Elaine...
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to the birthday girl...
Hope her day was filled with much joy.
Your hubby sounds like mine...The mall thing is not for him...I remember a few years ago, he went to the mall with me and he absolutely could not believe that mens shirts cost more than 25.00 dollars....But after all, he never had to buy them, so how could he know...
What fun these guys are!!
Blessings to you and your family and Happy New Years....
