Wrapping Up 2013

New Year's Eve and New Year's Day brought another round of fun family time - this time with Jason's parents.   Will was excited to open up this present.  He guessed it might be a truck. . . . hey, it IS a truck!


Will enjoyed walking Grandpa Ed and Grandma Hilary through the details of the truck.   He also showed them his Disneyworld autograph book and told them all sorts of stories about our adventures.  I just love listening to this kid tell stories and hear what he details he chooses to share.
With the grandparents in town, and volunteering to baby-sit, Jason and I hit the town to celebrate New Year's Eve!   We had snacks and drinks at Bar Louie - including this yummy S'mores martini - before heading to our reserved recliner seats at ipic theater to see Saving Mr. Banks and have more snacks and drinks there.  That's right; on our night out we chose to see a movie about the making of Mary Poppins!  We really enjoyed the movie and our date!  We managed to stay up until midnight by stopping by a friend's house on the way home for snacks and champagne. 

Today we've spent most of the day lounging around in our pajamas watching TV and Despicable Me 2 while it snows and snows and snows.    We also spent way too much time taking down the Christmas tree (whoa, those 1,000 points of light take a long time to unwind!) and cleaning up bazillions of dry needles. I'm seriously considering starting an artificial tree tradition next year!   But I shouldn't complain; we had a wonderful year, full of wonderful memories and adventures whether with our family of three or our extended family and fantastic friends!
