Ringing in a New Year!

I'm doing this a bit out of order...

Christmas posts will come once I sort through the gobs of pictures. ;)

Adeline and I spent our New Years day yesterday, lounging at home while Justin worked. It was such a nice day since we have been so on the go lately!

having some nay nay play time ;)

napping for the last time in 2012!

facetime playtime with Daddy's new phone (we may or may no have been under the same roof)

We spent our New Years Eve with our best friends, Chad, Cheri and their little girl Anna. We have been friends with them for many, many years and have almost always spent New Years Eve together! Back in our ~~wild~~ small-town and bored, single days we stayed up playing card games until well after midnight and would drive through the Liquor Barn asking if they had "sparkling grape juice" when all the stores were close or sold out. Ha! Now that we are married and have sweet babies, our New Years looks a bit different but is even more fun!

We started our evening getting dressed up to go out to eat!

The Hibachi grill was a fun, success! Adeline's first time going to one was on her first birthday. She loves the entertainment and really enjoys the food!

Our plan was to go to new cupcake shop but they were close. So we moved our dessert plans to another local dessert shop and enjoyed chocolate mousse cake and chocolate cheesecake, as well as cold glasses of milk! Adeline shared and I think the chocolate pushed her over the New Years celebrating edge! ;) She was a bit wild and had so much fun loving on her best friend, Anna.

Once we were home, we spent the evening chatting to Justin's parents (Adeline's Gee and Pawpaw) on Skype since they are in Florida for the winter already. After letting Adeline play, we put her to bed and Justin and I watched Batman and the New Years' Eve festivities including the ball drop.
