Our New Years Eve

Well you saw the first half, {the worst day ever}.  The second half didn't go quite as planned either.  As I mentioned Aaron was getting over the flu so we decided to have a quiet night at home and I was envisioning a fun family game night and lots of fun.  Unfortunately I was fighting a migraine and was very much on edge.  I kept telling the kids to keep it down and to be quiet, but the problem is they have a short term memory of about 2.2 seconds.  I was a bit grumpy.  uuuggghhh...

So I really tried to be a sport and power through it and we played a few games and I took picture of that part...

Strawberry Shakes...mmm...

Our dog Ginger was a nervous Nellie all night.  She hates fireworks.  Is there such a thing as green eye reduction? ha.  She is not really a demon.  I promise.

Crazy boys

...then I dropped my camera!  NOOO!!!  It is completely dead and won't work and I just want to cry.  I could have made a devastating video like Aaron's, but again tried to suck it up at least for our game night. 

Our night ended with the usual New Years smooch and we were literally in bed by midnight.  It ended up being a pretty fun night.  I love my little family, they made me smile even though I was a bit grumpy.

***UPDATE***

My Darling Husband just walked in the door as I was typing this post and handed me a new camera and said,

"Merry Christmas."  What a sweetheart!

Oh, I love this man.
