We can't believe it's already 2010. It feels like it was only yesterday when we celebrated 2009 and now here we are celebrating another year. Mommy was off work on Christmas Eve and Christmas day, so we decided to start our day by having breakfast together. It's nice to be able to relax and enjoy each other's company, and not have to rush out. Joseph begged mommy if he can put in a little Wii time before we left. He sure loves his new toy.
We celebrated New Year's Eve at daddy's Godfather's house. It was sooo much fun. Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Danny, Annie and Kenzie and Kali were also there. There were others there too, but we can't remember their name (lol). It was so much fun to be able to stay up all night. We played games, like "Hot Potato," "Princess Bingo," "Dress up dolls," and "Fashion Show." We also watched movies like "G-Force," and "Avatar" as we waited for midnight to come.
Chela prepared lots of yummy food (ham, potato salad, rice, beans, shrimps and lots of deserts). She even blew up lots of balloons. Some of the balloons had money inside (quarters, dimes, one dollar and even five dollars), but we had to wait until midnight, before we can pop them. Jojo was smart. He scavenged for the balloons that had the dollar bills and five dollar inside, instead of going for the ones with the coins. Brianna didn't care which balloon she got...she just wanted to pop them. When the clock struck 12am, everyone cheered and said Happy New Year.
We all got to toast the new year with some apple cider...that was yummy! We felt like grown ups toasting with them. When everyone was done greeting each other, it was time for all the kids to pop the balloons and search for money. We went crazy popping all the balloons. Even the adults helped out. Joseph made $10 and Brianna made $3. That was sooo fun! Hope mommy and daddy will take us to the store soon, so we can spend our earnings.
After the celebration was done, it was time for us to head home. We got home around 1:45am. Can you believe we were able to stay up this late? We were so tired that we decided to sleep in until 10am. That really made mommy and daddy happy, cuz they were able to sleep in as well.
When we woke up, we watched The Rose Parade with mommy on TV as we ate some left overs for breakfast. Then, it was time to get dress and visit baby Joshua, so we can decorate his grave with New Year stuff. We bought him some daisies, a new year balloon and silver tinsels, It looked so nice. After that mommy and daddy took us to Griffith Park, so we can ride the horses. Brianna got to ride for the first time the big fast horses and Joseph rode the medium ponies. Brianna and Joseph had so much fun riding the horses. Joseph kept asking mommy and daddy if we can buy a horse and keep one in the back yard. That would be awesome, but of course, they said no. After the horse ride, we had lunch together and then we went shopping for some movies and a new game for our Wii. Mommy and daddy bought the movie "9" and "Harry Potter: Half Blood Prince," We had movie time at home and then it was time to play Wii Sport Resorts. It was sooo fun to play those games. We got to stay up way past our bed time again (10:30pm).
New Year's day was so much fun. We can't wait to see what 2010 will bring our way. We hope everyone had fun celebrating and we pray that everyone will have a blessed, Happy and Prosperous New Year.
