WOW where did 2008 go. What a great year it was for us Halsted's. So much adventure and changes going on in our household. I want to wish everyone a blessed and successful 2009 and may this year bring much joy and happiness to you.
Well, I have been a little lax on getting my posts done these last few days. I do have to say it hasn't been for lack of want to. So I will catch you up on what has taken place...
So, New Year's Eve was a quiet one. We all slept in after a long day in the city. That evening we went night bowling with a bunch of families from Kevin's fire house. What a great time it was. The kids had a blast bowling and Grace bowled a 148!!! ( the bumpers were up ) I think we should sign her up on a league. Later on we all went to the fire house to hang out and wait for the New Year to come. The kids got to check out the fire engines and the guys were so nice to let the kids climb up on them and they even turned on the lights. We only made it to about 10:00 and had to get the 3 younger kids to bed. Kaitlyn stayed up with us adults as we watched the ball drop and brought in 2009.
The next morning Aunt Vicki and Uncle Jim came over before we headed out for home. It was great to see them one last time. So we drove back to Niagara Falls and stayed there again. It was a much better drive than trying to go all the way home. We got a better view of the falls the next morning. It was good to finally be home and we spent the weekend sleeping, getting things back in order for work and school and orgainizing after the long trip.
It was a great time and I am so thankful we were able to go down and see everyone. The girls still talk about the trip into the city. They can't wait to go back in the summer sometime and go to the Statue of Liberty.
