The new year has come. Yay? Last year ended kind of whatever for us. Don't get me wrong, everything was fine just weird at the same time.
Hoss has declared this year the year of the hr.
So this year was mostly like any others. We went to mom's for New Years to do Christmas with my family and it was a blast. The boys are just getting old enough to start staying up closer to midnight in fact one did make it to midnight. Hoss spent way too much money on nice ending fireworks (he stayed in the budget though so no complaints) and they were AWESOME! I feel asleep somewhere between 11-12 but was up for the display (obviously) but slept through some of the louder fireworks. Nobody (Hoss) threw fireworks at us or in the fire on purpose to scare us.
I have a few photos but you'll have to check them out on facebook or tumblr because that's where I posted them this time around --> took them with my new phone so it was easier.
Then Sunday we went to see Hoss's mom for her b-day. Again nice, took the three kids and that made it more interesting. Saw Hoss's dad and g-parents Christmas Eve. All in all, wonderful time.
First year though we didn't make plans to see friends. Last minute I got my girls together for a quick evening but otherwise it was "friendless" and WONDERFUL! No stress, no worries, no extra spending and traveling (because why ever should people travel to see us)
I only got bogged down as to what to get Hoss since he went to San Diego, we're trying to do something else with our money so I didn't want to spend a lot until it goes through (which meant no dishwasher for the house). But I think the stress actually came from his flight issues and just went from there.
All in all, a good holiday time.
This year the major thing planned is the Final Four and Hoss's 30th b-day. I had hoped to convince him to go back to the CWS (which would only be fitting, Hoss, year of the hr... home run =D) but doesn't look like he's up for it. Maybe we'll pick up a few concerts.
So Hoss, here to the year of the hr!
