Happy New Year!!!

One more shot from when the cousins were over, this time with everyone!

Thursday I met Amy for lunch at Piccolos then we hot the Acme to get the stuff we needed for Rose and Randy's New Years party. We were told to bring dessert so I decided it was time to open the mixer and give it a try. I bought enough flour, sugar, eggs and chocolate chips to make chocolate chip cookies and a big chocolate chip cookie cake.

We got to Rose and Randy's around 8. We weren't sure how Aden was going to handle staying up till midnight but we were going to give it a shot. Rylee and Reese were waiting for Aden to come over to play.

Choices, choices.

Then Mackenzie joined the party.

Aden was quite the stud. Three woman fighting over him!

We had fun eating and talking.



Our lovely hosts.

Aden wanted to get a little more comfortable.

PJ's for everyone!

Time for dessert.



Daddy's cookies came out pretty well but the pudding cake was a bigger hit!

Aden kind of lost it about 11:30 but at that point we decided to stay.

We were home by 12:15 and Aden was asleep by 12:16. At 3 he woke up screaming. I held him for half an hour and he fell back asleep. When I put him back in the crib, the screaming started again. So, for the first time in 18 months, Aden slept with us. Usually he wants no part of our bed, but that night he wasn't complaining. He wasn't himself the next day either. I'm thinking the nights of him staying up till midnight are done for now.
