Happy New Year!

After we celebrated Christmas at home we hit the road to visit family. First we went to Auburn to see Joe's family.
Chaz and Sidney got Rock B@nd for Christmas and they let Emily try it out. Joe also enjoyed singing along with them:

On Sunday Joe went back home to work and I visited my parents for a couple of days and then went to my sister's house for a couple of days. We took the kids to see a movie at the dollar movie on Thursday. Abigail "watched" the movie with us. I was so afraid she was going to have major sensory overload. She did fine during the movie but then cried the whole way home. She fell asleep about 6:30 that night and didn't wake up until 7:00 the next morning!

Joe came to Birmingham at the end of the week for us to celebrate Christmas with my family:

We enjoyed watching the Aub#rn game on New Years Day:

Celebrating a touchdown:
We also enjoyed staying up late at night to play Settlers of Cat@n. I'm addicted to that game now. We played it two nights until 2:00 a.m. and then on the last day we played it again while the kids were awake. When it got time to eat we threw some food at them and they kept going and we kept playing. I wish we didn't require sleep so we could just pull all nighters enjoying each other's company. I had forgotten how much I loved game nights:

My parents got Michelle's family Rock B@nd as well so Joe got to enjoy playing again with everyone:
and Sam enjoyed playing video games with Uncle Joe:
As 2009 comes to an end and 2010 rolls around Joe and I realize how blessed we are!
