This New Year's Eve began with Blake at the oral surgeon at 7:30AM for the extraction of 6 molars. He needed his wisdom teeth removed and we tried to have it done before Christmas but it turned out that he had two other molars that weren't in yet and in the way. After speaking with the ortho, we were back for all 6 of them to be removed. It is a bummer that it happened on New Year's Eve, but we are glad to get it over with. Blake did great and hasn't done any fun stuff to video and share! The only silly thing he did was when the nurse asked us which one of us would like to pull the car to the door for him, Blake says, "I could drive." We are all like, "No Way Buddy!". lol. Blake spent the day napping on the couch with Dad keeping an eye on him. I ran to get Blake's pain meds and Tay went to her friend's house.
Once Tay was back home, we eventually figured out a dinner plan...we decided to pick up some dinner from The Chicken Coop. We ordered extra mashed potatoes and gravy for Bubby and I mixed up some bread pudding with vanilla sauce while Billy went to grab the food. It was a great choice, food was great and we didn't have to cook! Win Win!
The boys were watching Madalorian, so Tay & I decided to try the TACO CAT GOAT CHEESE PIZZA GAME. It was hilarious, we had a blast! The boys kept shushing us and Blake was getting mad because we were having too much fun aka "being loud and annoying" lol. Eventually, we got everyone to join in, we all had fun playing it. Then Dad taught us how to play rummy, which was taxing for him..lol! Blake caught on easy, Tay and I struggled a bit but hung in there. Blake and I ended with a few hands of Uno...which I won! woo hoo!
Time went by surprisingly quick, especially since we had been up super early for the surgery. Before ya knew it, it was almost midnight! The rain had changed to a solid sheet of ice outside, we had to put the gate up to protect the dogs from falling on the deck and then the clock struck midnight and as Taylor blew her little paper celebratory horn, Milo joined in! Howling like crazy..lol! This was the first year that we didn't have foods, activities and games planned or watch the NYC countdown ball drop, but that's all alright. We got Blake taken care of, spent some time together and said good bye to 2020, hopeful for what 2021 will bring!
