We celebrated new year's eve with some of Matt's family in Mantua. We had lots of unhealthy food, played lots of games, kissed at midnight, lit a few fire crackers, and called it a night.
So welcome 2012!! I love a new year! Every time it's a new year, I get this horrible urge to redecorate my whole house (this year is no different). There's a lot I want to do! I always make resolutions. Sometimes I keep them, and sometimes I don't. I have quite a few resolutions this year, but my most important one is to mellow a bit. I tend to stress about things and get a little worked up and upset rather than just sort of let things happen and know that things will be ok-especially when it comes to little things the kids do (making messes, waking up Ava, thinks like that). Like is it really that big of a deal if Cooper wakes Ava up when she's been sleeping for over an hour? Probably not. I just feel like we try SO hard not to wake her up, and when he runs yelling down the hall right in front of her door, my first reaction is to get mad about it. Anyway... So, I want to be a little bit more mellow and no so reactionary. How's that? We'll see how I do.
