New Year's Eve was also enjoyable...as we stayed home and just spent the day together with the 4-legged babies. It's hard going anywhere when there are fireworks involved because our big marshmallow dog, Zane, is deathly afraid of them. He will jump into my lap like a tiny little poodle and proceed to shake and will not stop until the fireworks subside....so going anywhere during these times is nearly impossible. We hung out and watched some of the countdown shows while Audrey played on her activity mat. I thought it would be a great idea to give her a taste of a candy cane. Bad idea!! 11:30 rolls around and she is totally wired, laying in her bassinet talking up a storm and flailing her arms and legs. She is never up this late and I don't know if she knew it was New Year's Eve or it was the candy cane, but boy was she crazy!! She finally fell asleep after Elijah held her arms still and we crawled into bed to watch the ball drop. Elijah was pretty much asleep as it was happening and I had to put the television on sleep mode because my eyes were rolling into the back of my head. Thankfully Zane slept through the fireworks and didn't need Mommy to console his shivering body! New Year's Day was spent running errands and cleaning up the house. Audrey also wore one of her novelty shirts...I see a trend going with this as I have already bought her a "Baby's First Valentine's" outfit!! Here she is standing (which is something new that she LOVES to do) in her New Year's gear!! Hopefully 2011 will bring us as much joy as 2010 did!!
