Rockin' in the New Year!

After we got back from California we headed out to Arkansas to spend New Years with Aaron's family. When we got there on New Year's Eve we went to the UALR basketball game, which they won in overtime. Its always fun to go to games and since Aaron's dad got the tickets through work, we were right up close. We began the festivities with nachos, popcorn, etc. Then we went to Gustafsons' to celebrate Cole's 5th birthday and eat dinner, snacks, cookies, etc. and party. The kids were all excited and it was a fun way to spend the holiday. I ALMOST made it to midnight.... maybe next year. Aaron came back at like 12:15.We also spent the time checking out Aaron's Dad's new hospital and it is so nice, I seriously want to decorate our house like that. Lots of time with our nieces and newphews playing and Jo was in heaven running from house to house playing with the kids and dogs. I even squeezed in Amanda's yoga class and could barely walk out.

We went to eat at this fun Japanese restaurant with everyone. A few of the kids freaked when the fire started but we all ended up having fun. The food was so good I begged Aaron to take me back there the next day for more sushi. (Disclaimer: If you feel that I hardly ever post pictures of me and Aaron it is because we never take any. I don't know why but at all these gatherings we just end up taking pictures of everyone else and never with us together. But we do still love each other and sit next next to each other at restaurants, below you will find proof, just not a smiling picture :)You have never met another little girl who loves dogs like our little Claire. Everytime we walked in the room she was like this. The kids just had a blast riding her, and pulling her, and cuddling with her. And in case you didn't know, our puppy loves to cuddle so it worked out great for her.
