Happy New Years!

On New Years we usually just hang out with family. This year we decided to go eat dinner with no kids. We went to Olive Garden by our house. My cousin is manager there and she was working that night. She hooked us up with free appetizers and drinks. My aunt Cinda also brought us all gold and silver bead necklaces. We had fun! I asked our waitress to take our picture after our dinner and they came out so blurry. But this is all I have.

Afterwards we all picked up our kids from home and took them to the desert with us. Some cousin of ours were already out there with a fire going. The adults played with fireworks while the kids played with sparklers. We planned on staying until midnight but around 11:00 the kids were just so tired. They never stay up late.

Its tradition to burn our Christmas tree on New Years.  Its crazy how fast it burns. Paxton wasn't too happy, he said "I am sad, now we have to buy a new one." I guess he didn't realize real trees die and you buy a new one each year.
