The casinos were very busy (not surprising) so it was hard to find a table. We finally got in on a Roulette game, so we stayed there most of the night. Matt and I did not do well, but we had fun. We sat next to a couple from Minnesota, they were nice. She was very lucky and it was fun joking around with them.
Of course we got champagne for the New Year! I can't believe it is 20-10. I called my Dad shortly after to wish them a Happy New Year and for them to give Lily Jo a kiss. Wow, off to another great year!!!
I took this at the Roulette table. Then BAM! a little guy quickly came over and scolded me for taking a picture. He demanded that I delete it, but I just shut it off. He told me that I might see things in the picture that might help me cheat. I told him I wasn't that smart! ha ha! Good picture for the new year though!
Another picture in the casino at the restaurant. I guess we weren't supposed to take this picture either. Geez!!
Well, it was a late night, but we finally spent all our money and headed back. The New Year started with us shopping for a coat for me. I like it a lot. Matt is a good shopping partner. It is so much easier when you aren't carrying a heavy 2 year old that runs and hides every time you put her down. She tires me out!!! ha ha!
We went to Gibbon to eat supper with my parents and Gigi and picked up Lily. I loved that it was only Friday! We could be together for the whole weekend.
Dollhouse!!!!!
Saturday morning, we started in on the 1,000+ piece dollhouse (it seems like that many pieces). Matt painted the outside blue and interior the color of our living room. I picked the hard job of painting all the trim, windows, railings, shutters, flower boxes and more - white. We also have to soak the 800 shingles in stain. Yay, fun!

Matt got the walls all up and onto the foundation. My shutters are in the process of being painted.
Those are the window frames. Can you see that we were trying to build this with a 2 year old that likes to sit on your lap and play with calculators and cabbage patches??
That isn't even all the shingles.
More of it is done!
I will post pictures of the completed dollhouse. I didn't realize it would be this time consuming and tedious. I enjoy it more than Matt. I like puzzles and he doesn't. He would rather sit in a tractor and push snow! Which he is doing right now. Yes, we got a little more snow. Ugh! I am blogging when I should be doing report cards. Well, I have 5 done and 13 more to go. Not bad, huh?
I hope everyone is off to a great 2010!!!! My vacation is over soon, so my countdown has started for spring break! ha ha!
Toodles!
