January 1st. Just a day of barbies and dressup :)

January 1st was a wonderful, relaxing family day.  We all seem to be feeling better, so I started the morning off by making some homemade cinnamon rolls.  I used a mixture of two recipes, but the base recipe was by Paula Deen. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paula-deen/cinnamon-rolls-recipe/index.html  I only used a cream cheese frosting instead.  They were delicious!  Not the healthiest way to start off the new year, but definately a yummy one! 
Princess and I played Barbies for a while.  I love watching all of their imaginations when they play.  After Barbies they all wanted to play dress up.  The baby insisted that I dress up in a hulk mask.  I obliged and included that picture even if it is scary ;)  Happy New Year!

New Years 2013!

This year our new years plans got changed due to the stomach bug lingering.  Instead, we just hung out as our own little family of 5. All the kids stayed up until midnight , even Brendan made it! We counted down together, banged pots and pans and bowls inside and outside of  and screamed happy new year as loud as we could!  The kids had sparkling grape juice in real grown up glasses and toasted to a new year!
By the way, in the pictures Aidan is wearing a shirt we found in all the fabric my late grandma gave me. He feels special knowing it came from his great grandma and is something that she made.
