Happy New Year!

I challenge you, dear readers, to find a crazier party than the one we threw this New Year's.  The Princess was a real trouper - here's a shot of her at midnight on the nose:

Insane, right?

She had been doing so well - her eyelids finally fluttered shut at 11:57.  The Hubbs and I wished each other "Happy New Year" in hushed tones as we put the sleeping beauty in her bed.  Naturally, this woke her up and she proceeded to play in her room in the dark far later than she should have. 

This morning The Princess and I had a date with my friend M.  We cruised on over to her place to pick her up and went to JC Penney for a little bit of harmless browsing.  After that we were very thirsty, so it only made sense to go to Mickey D's for lunch.  The Princess loves their fries, and though I know they're not that great for her, it's something she'll eat.  That's always a plus. 

After lunch we hung out at M's place for a while before heading back home.  The Hubbs was a bit restless, so we decided to load up the sled and head over to Grumma and Grumpa's house.  I was excited to find that my new mittens had been completed, and here I am in the whole winter ensemble, towing my precious cargo in the back yard:

Before too long, The Princess started to fuss.  Which quickly turned into a full-out scream.  The poor thing was overheating in her winter gear, so we nixed the sledding mission in favor of an activity that can fix anything.

After The Princess's bath, we put her in some fuzzy feetie jammies and braided her hair.  She's a real sport about the hair, and it always looks so cute the next day when she lets me do it.  Once this was taken care of, she climbed right back into her favorite spot in the house...the toy box!

Cheers to all of you wonderful people who take the time to read my musings.  Here's hoping you find health, wealth and happiness in the coming year.
