A Happy New Years

On New Year's Eve, we went to my sister Camille's house to celebrate with my extended family. Riley and his wife Crystal even surprised us by driving out for the celebration (they stayed in Highland for Christmas). We had a fabulous dinner and played some really fun card games. All the children stayed up to bring in 2009 with plenty of noise and confetti. It was a really fun party and went by way too fast. In fact, the whole holiday bash went by too fast.

My recovering husband finally returned to work today...and the kids went back to school. The house is now so clean and quiet and it's just me and Spencer! Sometimes it's nice to have some "normal" in my life.

Today, I went out to lunch with my Mom, Camille and Amanda. And then I went to the county building to renew my driver's license that has been expired since my birthday. Then I came home and found Tyler's hospital bill in the mailbox. $12,000!!! How on earth did medical costs get so outrageous?
