Happy new year 2008!














We went over to our friends Dan and Amy Francis' house for New Year's Eve for dinner and appetizers, and Delaney enjoyed spending time with their 6-month old daughter Sadie. She also enjoyed chasing after their kitty cats all night! Dan made us a fantastic spaghetti and chicken dinner from his Sopranos cookbook, and Mommy enjoyed her first glass of wine in a long time. With party hats on and noisemakers in hand, the girls had a fun time! As the night wore on, everyone got sleepy and we only made it until 10:30 before heading home. However, once reaching home Delaney made it another hour, almost until 11:30~! For awhile I thought she would actually ring in the new year with us! Lila slept most of the night, but that's normal for her these days :O)
It was a fun New Year's celebration and we appreciate our fearless friends Dan and Amy for inviting a toddler and newborn over for their new year celebration!! We really look forward to spending 2008 with our two girls, and anticipate all the wonderful adventures ahead.
HAPPY NEW YEAR Delaney and Lila!!!
