It's New Year's Eve and we are so ready to par-tay!! Okay...maybe just fix some food and play a game later..lol. It's just how we roll on NYE, the kids are here, we are happy and chillin' and cannot imagine having to take off our pj's and leave the house. We lame and we are okay with it!
I did have to run to the store, so Tay and I made a little trip through Scooters Coffee to sneak in a bit of energy, to get us through the day. We spent much of the day, snuggling with the pups and relaxing. We had big projects, working in the basement the day before so we deserved a day to relax. We eventually made a couple dips (one was a black-eyed pea dip for good luck) and then ran to grab some chicken for the kids. We were really craving The Chicken Coop but unfortunately, they had to close due to their cook being in a bad accident, that's awful. Anyways, we settled for Lee's Chicken, we love their pickles, even though they were out of them, but Tay got her chicken pot pie and Blake just got tenders, woohooo...fancy dinner tonight! On the way to Lee's, Tay and I saw Grace church all lit up with their Christmas display so we pulled in to take a look. It was on our to-do list for the holiday season and we never made it there, so why not?! It was really cool and quite amazing really! The cutest part was a car pulled out and two little toddlers got out and started dancing around the parking lot..how sweet!
Blake came down, we asked if he wanted to play a game and he said, "Sure"...so UNO it is! Dad and Blake, both, were really agitated by Mine and Taylor's inability to "play right"...so we mess up a bit...big deal, we eventually caught on! We laughed til we almost cried at Bubby's cocky attitude and bossiness and Taylor's gestures as she used her hands in a circle on the table to help her recall the direction the circle was going! lol! Dad kept changing the rules on her too...it was crazy and I'm not even sure who won. After the game, it was almost midnight...Blake got back online with his friends while Tay and I ran out on the back deck to ring in the new year...watch the fireworks and drive the poor pups crazy while we blow a horn and bang a pan! It's tradition! We were pleased to stay awake long enough to usher in a new year!
