Happy New Year!

We spent NYE at the McKenney's up in Mechanicsburg.  A fun time was had by all, although by the end of the weekend the kids were a tired cranky mess.  (except for Natalie, who slept 10.5 hours straight on New Years Eve!)  While we were there, we went to Chocolate World in Hershey and went on the ride where they show you how the Hershey's chocolate is made.  They give you a piece of chocolate at the end of the ride.  The kids love it!

I explained to the girls how people make New Year's resolutions and asked what they would want to do in the new year.  Here are everyone's resolutions for 2011!

Lindsay - learn to ice skate, and learn about money
Paige - put things away after she is done with them, and be healthy (she added this after hearing mine)
Mommy - Live a healthier lifestyle.  I have a list of things I consider to be 'healthy' that I am going to try and implement throughout the year instead of all at once, since I know I would burn out in about two days.  For example, get enough sleep, exercise, eat fruits and vegetables, floss, etc!
Daddy - exercise every day.  Since he is about to blow this already on January 2nd, I told him he should make the goal only 6 days per week.  :)

I also want to work on decorating our house room by room, and I want to get a minivan.  :)  Overall, 2010 was decent, and much better than 2009, although I can hope that 2011 is a little more stable in terms of both of our jobs.
