Happy New Year

We met our friends Nick and Neila-Susan (and there not yet born baby) in Indianapolis to celebrate new years. We had so much fun with them, as we always do, and Maggie had a blast getting to hang out with them too. We went out to eat at Carrabas and then headed back to our hotel where Joe and Nick took Maggie swimming again. She was all wired up and was so funny. Her favorite was jumping off the side to Joe and him throwing her up in the air. She also had a fun ride up and down the halls of the hotel on the luggage holder. Neila-Susan didn't quite make it to midnight, being 20wks pregnant she needed her sleep! Maggie and Owen almost made it and had fun wearing their new years hat, but they both fell asleep about 15 minutes before the ball dropping. New Years Day we went shopping at a huge mall in Indianapolis and ate at the Cheesecake Factory before we came back to Peoria. It was such a fun week but very tiering. We are so glad to be back home and Amanda and Tres are here to visit this week so that will be lots more fun. No big plans this week, the kids and I have playgroup tommorow which we havent' been to in forever so Maggie will be glad to see everyone as will I! I also plan to get a little alone time since Maggie and Owen have their aunt and uncle to entertain them.
