LETS FIRST START WITH NEW YEARS...We hung out with Emily and Jeff (of coarse) and started the night off at Iggys so they boys could watch the LSU game- and whatever other game was on.
Then we traveled down town and wandered around- it was quite interesting to say the least... huh em... :o)
Then we had reservations at The Melting Pot for dessert. I hadn't ever been there before but had always wanted too so I was way excited. Our reservation came with a little gift bag filled with sparkling cider, gobblets, those poppy firework things, and other fun nick-nacks to celebrate! It was SO fun! Well our night didn't end there- we went back to our place and played a little Guitar Hero World Tour- oh yeah- and by a little, um, til like three in the morning! We're definitely going to have to battle Dellany and Tremayne soon!!!
THEN I BASICALLY HAD A BIRTHDAY WEEK...
yup- the BIG 25! My Aunt and I celebrate our birthdays at the same little family get together but this year she incorporated the boys' Fantasy Football Dinner. . .
My cousin Cole orchestrates this whole fantasy football thing- every summer at our family vacation the boys all choose their football teams and whatever- then battle all year long. Then at the end of football season, Cole gives out funny awards and gag gifts to everyone. It's hilarious!
Mike received these AWESOME football sunglasses and an award stating that his bench scored more points then his actual team- or something like that ???
Kyle won the whole thing- so he gets the famous crown (that'll be passed on next year), a trophy and some bling. :o)
Well and on top of those two events it was also the CHARGERS VS STEELERS game (we being Chargers fans -sorry Haley- and the Bensons being Steelers fans my aunt coordinated a whole football dinner for the game. Look how creative and cute she is.....
TUESDAY JANUARY 13TH
was my true life birthday :o) and since it was in the middle of the week and i had to work, we just went to dinner with Emily, Jeff, Michelle, and Scott. It's become a tradition to go to Tepyanaki on my birthday so thats where we went. I love that place!
I also have to add that Mike gave me a sweet new camera for the birthday!! Its freakin awesome!! There's gonna be much more picture takin' around these parts...
NEW ADDITION TO THE FAM
A few days later we had a new addition to our family in Nebraska. Mike's brother, Ryan, and his wife, Anna, had a little girl. Meet Addie-
She is so freakin cute, I can't wait til this summer to meet her! Only she'll be 6 months old!! :o( Speaking of meeting someone-
THIS IS GABE
Our other new addition as of October and we haven't met him yet either...
Man- check out those chubby cheeks! They are so cute!! Unfortunately Matt and his family might be moving to Texas... hopefully not before we get out there this summer though, i wanna see this little guy!!
THE END OF THE BIRTH-WEEK
Today we celebrated my birthday with just my fam. My mom made dinner (I got to choose WHATEVER i wanted) and i got a few more presents.
THE END
