New Years Eve Celebration

Usually it is with excitement that I see another year pass. However this year I found myself wondering where all the time went and reminiscing over some wonderful memories. I have to say that 2008 marked one of the best years ever. To have CC and her dad in my life have been such a blessing and I am so thankful to our Lord every single day.


This past year I have watched my daughter grow from a little tiny infant (completely dependent on mom and dad), to a very independent little girl. People say, "Oh, they grow so fast"...blah blah blah. I had NO IDEA how true that was!! I am loving every single second of being a mom and a wife and I am truly thankful for all of God's gifts.


To that end, we celebrated the New Year with our friends and family (we missed you and your family Stacia). We had beef, chicken and shrimp fondue (thank you mom for our new electric fondue pot). Lisa also made a yummy cheese fondue AND chocolate fondue and I have gained 6 pounds. It was ALL worth it :)


We played some dominoes and then started our regular game of Tripoly. Sean came away with most of the nickles again. I'm so proud of my handsome gambler. We all had a good time and didn't get to bed until about 3:00 am. That is very very late for the Costa family. Thankfully CC is such a good sleeper!!


Wishing you all a new year full of blessings in 2009!!
