new year was pretty quiet this year. we had tossed around the idea of going out and partying with friends but in the end chose to stay home..i know, boring right? well, what can i say..it’s been a crazy and tiring year - physically and emotionally!

we invited edison, jenn and joshie to come up and ring in the new year! tobey anxiously awaited their arrival that night and literally kept looking out the window every half hour! on the dinner menu- short ribs, salmon, sinigang and a bunch of different types of desserts containing chocolate. it was entertaining watching joshie and tobester running around and then finally settling in to watch “spongebob squarepants: the movie”. that movie was funky but did keep the two of them very entertained..hahahaha!

it was a tiring day for the 4 boys and by that i mean..ramel, edison, tobey and joshua…so they were pretty low key after dinner and dessert. we rang in the new year with dick clark and the boys went to bed shortly after. jenn and i ended up talking and catching up on just about everything and finally went to sleep at about 345am!
