New years

Happy New Year 2011!!!

We went to our friends Courtney and Casey's house New Years Eve for dinner. We go out every NYE with my group of girlfriends. Normally, we go to a nice dinner somewhere and then back to someone's house for dessert and games. This year we opted to stay in because Susan and I both have kids already and Courtney and Staci are both pregnant so it was just easier. Casey made prime rib for our dinner and Courtney made a patato casserole, we brought green bean bundles and a couple of dips for appetizers and Susan brought the bread and cupcakes for dessert. The food was incrediable and we all had so much fun talking and spending time with each other. I think this will become our new "normal" NYE until the kids are all a little older and we can all get a babysitter and start going out again!

On New Year's Day we were so excited to get to watch our Texas Tech Red Raiders play in their bowl game! (And ever more excited that they won the game!!!) My friend Susan and her daughter Carlee came over to celebrate the new year and watch the football game with us.

After she got done holding him, Carlee wanted to hug Cade over and over again! It was just the sweetest thing! She would walk up to us and point at Cade and say "baby" and then put her arms out to hug him.

Out for a walk at the end of the day
