Wow! Two wonderful days and we were fortunate to spend the last day of 2008 and the first day of 2009 with our favorite friends.
Yesterday was the perfect day! I mean perfect for December in Florida. Sunny, bright, clearest, bluest sky! The girls and I picked up their best buds K&C and off to play tennis we went. This was going to be interesting because K&C know how to play but L&M have only logged about 3 hours with the new rackets they got for Christmas. No problem, K&C were great teachers and by the end of the day they played a pretty good match.
In addition to tennis, we all had lunch at the Loop, looked for the missing snapping turtle in the creek and played at the park. A very good day! Everyone in the van was saying the same thing on the way home, "It's been a great day!"
Last night, we celebrated with a quiet night. We were going to the pier for fireworks but I didn't really want to drive back ... there is just something about being on the road on New Year's Eve that I don't like so instead .... I read, something I'm planning to do more of in 2009, M watched her favorite TV shows and L spent the night watching the new year ring in. By 10 I was probably asleep but L made sure to wake me up with her excited voice calling to me at midnight "It's 2009 Mommy, it's 2009!" Oh, the excitement. She is truly the light of my world.
We welcomed 2009 by cleaning the house ... my room looks so nice today .... but the living room and kitchen still need some work. See, we took a break to go bowling with the whole G family and J. After a great afternoon with we made it home in time for dinner .... and ice cream.
Quite a nice way to end the day ... Hello, 2009! What goodies will you bring?
