Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! 

We had plans to go and spend the new year celebration with some family...but that turned into more of a social event instead so we opted to stay home. :(

We had a great time together though. Paul had to go to work, so we baked some sweets for his party at work. I made some carob cupcakes and Paul made some cookies. 

 

Jai had skipped his nap for the day...so he ended up crashing around 10:30 or so. Gracie and I stayed up until midnight! 

Happy New Year! Yay! She made it to midnight! We had some bubbly (sparkling white grape juice)...and since Gracie has never had any soda before...she was a little "wierded out" from the carbonation. She laid down about 5 min. after she drank it, then started complaining that she didn't feel good, and she said she her throat was feeling really bad and that she might be sick. We took proper precautions and headed to the bathroom just in case. She was shaky, and very upset because she didn't want to be sick. (trust me, this story is going somewhere). I pulled her hair back, and she kept asking if that carbonation would make her sick, etc. I told her no...but assured her that she wouldn't ever have to drink it again, and that we would do plain juice next year. More complaints about her throat feeling really wierd, and hurting...then lots more shaking, etc. Then it came...she BURPED! Whew! What a relief!!! Hahahahah! Wow!

We actually laughed for quite a while after that. 

I hope that you all have a wonderful 2011. I have a feeling it's going to be a good one! :)
