New Year's Eve

We had a great party for New Years! We had hats and noisemakers and did a countdown with the kids at 8pm. The adults made it until midnight - yeah! Hopefully 2010 will be a healthy, happy year full of laughter and good memories!

Vegas!!

Lulu, Angie and I had a blast in Vegas! We ate great food, went dancing at nightclubs, learned how to play Craps, chilled by the pool, relaxed in the spa, saw a great drag queen show, sang at a karaoke bar, and I topped the weekend off by losing $90 at a blackjack table - what an awesome time!!!
