Tuesday night

2008 is quickly coming to an end! It's been a great year and I am excited to start 2009! We have had a great holiday season and are excited about ringing in the new year! Walter, Cathy, Brent, & I along with 2 of their friends will be going to a New Year's Eve party at a local hotel and attending a party with a live band. It's been years since Walter & I went out on New Year's Eve, mostly because I hate being out with drunk people on the road, but since this is at a hotel and we have a room, we are going out!!! I found some cute clothes in Cathy's closet and am getting a hair cut/style tomorrow, so I'm ready to go! We are going to go to dinner first at Sullivan's Steak House and this will be my first trip there!

We are winding down from Christmas and I've been busy taking down the tree and putting away decorations. I'm not finished, but I put a dent in it! I did forget to mention that Walter's niece, Rebel, got the family "Velvet Elvis" and is now required to hang it in an obvious spot in her house!! She has to keep it and pass it on to whoever's name she draws next year in the family Christmas drawing! We have been lucky and only been owners of Velvet Elvis once so far! We may just have to go for a visit to Rebel's house one day and make sure it's really there!!! Ha Ha Ha!!



Cameron & I ran all over town this morning. He had an orthodontist appointment this morning, then a hair cut appointment, then I had to take him to drop him off with his dad. Once I got home, I went to help our homeowner's association treasurer with some neighborhood stuff, then went to dinner with Brent & Cathy. Walter went to help his son, Sean, with some things, so he wasn't able to come with us.

My sister & brother-in-law are coming in town Thursday - Saturday, so we'll be entertaining them while they're here. They are planning to stay with us Thursday night after we all have lunch together at my mom's on New Year's Day.

Happy New Year!

It is hard to believe the year is about to end. Have fun going out, we are just staying home.

Good thing you have only gotten that picture once, that is one bad artist.

Okay, the Elvis thing is cracking me up!! I am glad my family is not that creative. :-)

Enjoy your New Years party! It's fun to party when you know you only have to go back upstairs to your room and not on the road.

Does Cameron still have to wear a retainer? Dylan finally got his braces off a month ago after 3 years! He hates wearing the retainer.

LOL I still laugh at the Elvis painting! It's such a beautiful portrait! :-D
