New Years Day 2011!

Happy New Year!  We were all in bed before midnight last night.  But that was because Eli had a horrible time sleeping.  1st he couldn’t stop coughing and then because the coughing kept waking him up the fireworks the neighbors where shooting off scared him.  Eli decided he was done sleeping in his bed and had to sleep in the bed with mommy.  Which meant that daddy got to go sleep in the kids room on the bunk bed.  And mommy got absolutely no sleep because every time I would start to drift off E would have a coughing fit.  I think E’s coughing finally calmed down around 4 am and I got about 3 to 3.5 hours of sleep before E decided it was time to get up for the day. 

My dad went down the road to get us donuts for breakfast as not to make noise in the kitchen and wake us up.  That was so sweet of him.  I had to take a picture of my husband all snuggled up in the bunk bed.

After breakfast of donuts and hot chocolate complete with marshmallows Eli decided to start off the new year by playing blocks with Nanny.

 

Then decided to go vacuum with Pop Pop.

 

Vacuuming didn’t last long as we found Pop Pop laying on the couch cushion on the floor instead of vacuuming the couch!

 

Since I got no sleep the night before and E didn’t sleep well at all we decided it would be a good idea to head for home before lunch.  We spent the rest of the 1st day of 2011 relaxing, watching TV and playing with toys.  Not a bad way to spend the 1st day of 2011!
