New Years 2013

Me and the kids hung out at home on New Year's Eve while Matt went to work.  I loved these relaxing days with my kiddos.  Lily started the morning by putting together a 48 piece puzzle ALL by herself.  Usually she asks for a little help and/or loses interest.  This time, I saw her start the puzzle and she watched cartoons while she finished it!  So great!

Teaching Hudson how to play the piano.

Later that morning, Morgan came over to play.  It is fun to have a teacher/neighbor during school breaks.  :)

Lounging in the coupe. :)

Cute kids!

For New Year's Eve night, we planned a stay at the Ramada Inn at Kearney.  We went there every year when I was growing up.  A bunch of the families would go and get rooms in a block.  It was so much fun.  I wanted to try that out.  I didn't know that the Ramada has been remodeled and the center pool/game/elephant eye area is not the same as it used to be.  We still had fun. 

Our first time to the pool with Hudson!

Hee hee, I love it!

The water was warm, but the room was cool.  So, Hudson was a little chilly.

Hudson loved the water.  I had to sneak out of the pool to grab this shot.  :)

After we got out, our friends came to the Ramada to hang out with us.  The Fehringer's and Springer's came with their kids.  It was nice to see them.....very busy with all the kids!  We hope to get together next New Year as well.  Then Hudson will be everywhere too!

They left and we went to the room to bring in the New Year.  Lily tried soooo hard to stay up and watch the ball drop. 

She is enjoying her grape sparkling juice to celebrate.

Hudson slept through it all!

Here is to a blessed New Year! :)

so sweet!

We are getting ready for the Husker game! 

ha ha

Lily has a very hard time keeping her hands off of Hudson.  So, whenever they are on the floor together they are always rolling over each other.  Its cute until hair gets pulled or heads get bumped. 

Pure joy 

The Huskers didn't win, but they did SO much better than we had expected.  It was a nice relaxing afternoon watching football.
