NYE 2013<\/em><\/p>\n

Had a fabulous time with these fine people tonight to celebrate and ring in 2014! \u00a0It was a busy day for us. \u00a0We headed to Texas Direct Auto to look at and drive some cars at 10am and by 2pm we’d decided to buy a Toyota Sienna. \u00a0Yes, a minivan. \u00a0A new era has begun for us. \u00a0A Nissan Armada was my first choice, but just not practical. \u00a0I don’t want to be that minivan mom, but I really don’t want to be that mom who puts her desire to drive a sexy car over her desire to drive a car that is easy on her kids and truly more convenient and practical for everyone. \u00a0Carson couldn’t climb into the Nissan on his own and since he’ll have to do a lot more for himself after the new baby is born it just wasn’t a good choice. \u00a0After we decided on the van I took the kids home for naps and to get ready for the evening. \u00a0Ben was up at the car place until 6:30. \u00a0Apparently they sold an incredible number of cars today and it was taking a much longer time than usual. \u00a0Thanks to Ben for suffering through the wait for us.<\/p>\n

We headed to the Hartmans around 7, put together all the yummy food, I got the kids to bed, and we spent much of the rest of the night watching A&M battle Duke in the Chick-fil-A bowl and eating too much fondue.<\/p>\n

We managed to put up a photo backdrop and even with no experience, few supplies and not a lot of time it was a really fun thing that produced some pretty wonderful photos and memories.<\/p>\n

At midnight we had champagne and smore’s by the fire outside and then stayed up too late. \u00a0Betsy waking up at 7 came too early.<\/p>\n

As I write this last post of 2013 and my last day of the 365 project, I find myself both relieved that my days of worrying about getting a post up everyday are over, and sad that I won’t have a day by day account of what the next year brings. \u00a0I’m brainstorming now about what to do in 2014. \u00a0Having a project on the blog was how I managed to keep up with it, and I love that I can look back on the good and the bad days of 2013. \u00a0I won’t be doing a Project 365 in 2014, maybe a picture and post a week? \u00a0Project 52? \u00a0I also thought about focusing on Hottie Biscotti <\/a>more. \u00a0I have a lot of ideas, but know that if I try to do them all I won’t do any of them. \u00a0So we’ll see.<\/p>\n

Happy New Year! \u00a0Hope 2014 is wonderful!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
