Crab Feed Date Night

Brenden is 13 months and we finally left him with Kylah for a couple of hours to go to a fundraiser at Kylah's high school. Although she was so anxious and nervous about us leaving her with the boy for the night, all went perfectly. Ryan and I had a great time...eating lots of crab at the crab feed!!!! We were totally stuffed. Ryan ate the most and was really trying to get his moneys worth. Not sure if he ate $120 worth. We also learned that we will NEVER be able to win an auction item at this high school. Those people have too much money to throw around. What we thought was a reasonable price to bid won 10 times over. LOL....$2000 for a plate of brownies, $8,000 for dinner for 14 at a brewery. Need I say more! All in all, it was a lot of fun.

XOXO,

 This season...Brenden is walking and winning the hearts of all the girls. Lady Killer!

 Happy New Year!

 We are finally back at home now and celebrated the New Year right here. Both Brenden and Kylah had a cough, so we thought it was best to just chill. The baby had his 12 month check up yesterday and got 4 shots. So on top of waking up with a cough, he had a high fever all night. Let's just say that our New Year's Eve was not that exciting. However, we watched the ball drop and still celebrated with champagne and kisses. Good thing that the New Year was better. Today, he woke up happier and his fever was gone. Woo hoo! Ryan was ready to jump in the car and take him to the ER last night if his fever persisted. He was so cute and cuddly with him. It is so sad to see babies sick. I hate that part of being a mommy.

Anyway, Happy New Year. Let the resolutions begin... with a morning mimosa! Cheers.
