I made it!  I was able to stay up and ring in the New Year with Mommy and Daddy!  I fell asleep at about 10 minutes after midnight.  Hey, at least I made it!  And before I fell asleep I got to make some noise with Mommy.  Daddy thinks Mommy is silly because she bangs wooden spoons on metal bowls and yells, "Happy New Year!"  I thought it was fun, but I was so tired that I wouldn't hit the bowl.  The neighbors set off fireworks and yelled too.  It was fun to watch!

The next night, Aunt Bobbie and Uncle Jim came into town.  We met them at Grandma Terri's and Grandpa Vince's House for dinner.  All of my aunts, uncles and cousins were there (except for Uncle John and his family, but that's another story)!  We all haven't been together like that in a really long, long time.  It was so much fun and so nice.  We stayed soooo late, but I was such a good girl even though I was tired.  

Aunt Bobbie and Uncle Jim stay with us when they are in town.  That's really neat!  I enjoy having people stay the night.  That...and...I absolutely LOVE them!  Mommy kept smiling at me because I would just run up to Aunt Bobbie and Uncle Jim and give them hugs when they would least expect it.  Aunt Bobbie even let me sit on her lap and cuddle her while she was on the couch.  When they weren't here I would ask Mommy and Daddy where they went.  I even wanted to call them on the telephone when they weren't here and I hate the telephone!  They left Monday afternoon.  I'm so glad they stayed until I got home from school.  We even got to visit more, after I got home and Grandma Terri even came over.  Mommy says we are going to go to Kansas to visit Aunt Bobbie and Uncle Jim when they move into their new house.  Which should be some time in April.  I can't wait!!  I love to visit them!!
