The New Year happens to be my favorite holiday, or at least in the top three. We didn't do anything real huge on New Year's Eve because of course Brandon had to work but we did manage to have some fun.
Bradley figured out how to roll from his back on the 26th of December, he rolled from his stomach in November, and has been rolling around the house since. I found him crying under his bouncy chair and of course took a picture before I rescued him.
We did have a sad moment, we said goodbye to Alyssa. It was her last day at channel 8 so we took her some brownies and said goodbye.
The kids stayed up late (9:30) watching a movie with popcorn and orange soda. They did pretty well, there was only a little whining when it was time for bed. Brandon and I watched some of a movie after he got home and then watched the ball drop.
Now for my favorite part of New Year's Day. In my family we have a tradition about the New Year's Fairy, but if you ask my dad it is the New Year's Spirit and the Flamms have a New Year's Elf but it really is the same thing. On New Year's Eve you leave a shoe out and on New Year's day the shoe is filled with goodies and you get a new book. Isn't that the coolest thing ever? One new book guaranteed a year. I forgot to take a picture of the shoes, we got an assortment of chocolates this year, but the kids were so excited for their books.
Checking out her new
Fancy Nancy books.
The first four
Encyclopedia Brown books, he had them all read by Monday night, a child after my own heart.
Britton wasn't too sure about the whole thing, until she found the candy.
Bradley can't actually feel anything with the socks on his hands but he did try to eat the book. And of course we don't have to be on the waiting list at the library for
The Lost Hero even though we were up to number 23. Hope you all had a wonderful New Year, now it is back to the school routine. William slept in almost every single day of the two week vacation. So it should be interesting getting back into a schedule.

Kaylanee hated getting up for school after the break. I was shocked that she actually made it on time every day.
We are glad that the New Year's elf is still going around, thank goodness we only had 2 shoes on our table this year, we were glad when the left that liked to cover the table with shoes decided to move to another house.
