We rang in the new year with Aunt Denise, an annual tradition. Like any tradition, some things are to be expected - a movie at the theater, a good dinner, a snowball fight, lots of playing and some "man time" for Lee (which is much appreciated at the end of school vacation!). Denise and I took the girls to see Tangled, which was very cute. It is amazing how much Emily has grown since her last trip to the movies (NYE 2009) - this year, she sat through the entire movie without talking or moving, which was a far cry from her short attention span last time around. After the movie, we snacked on shrimp, cheese and crackers, and chips and dip. Then, after a few hours of playing, we made a great dinner from all of the food that Denise brought down, including swordfish and juicy steaks! After dinner, we just relaxed and ended up in bed long before midnight. On New Year's Day, we had a big breakfast and then burned off some energy (and calories) with a snowball fight. We had a great time, as always, with Aunt Denise and can't wait for her next visit!

Reading Rapunzel before bed (apparently the movie wasn't enough).

When will Elizabeth learn not to pick a snowball fight with Daddy?
