Happy New Year!
Siena preparing to make the New Year countdown cookies. Siena has a great memory and she remembers watching the ball drop last year at midnight. She wanted to watch it again. Everyone went to bed a little after 11. I wanted to stay up and watch the ball drop. Siena and Ben were in Siena's room that night together so I went and got them at 11:50 and we watched the ball drop. Right after that we were in bed and we fell asleep quickly. Ben didn't wake up till after 10 the next day.

Siena only had one week off of school for Christmas break. It has been so nice Siena and Ben have played nicely together and Claire just tries to follow along. Dave unfortunately had to work all week so it was nice that the kids were getting along so I could have some peace. They have enjoyed all the new toys they got for Christmas. Surprisingly, they love the board games we got. They are now masters at UNO but don't really have the attention span for Sorry and usually just end the game early. I was excited for Siena to be home and wanted to atleast do one fun outing. I planned on Thursday going to a childrens museum in Baltimore. I had packed everything the night before so it wouldn't be stressful in the morning. Siena threw up all morning Thursday. I was so sad. We were going to have so much fun at the museum. So that cancelled that, then Friday morning Ben threw up. He was fine right after but Dave and I felt a little sick that night. Saturday, New Years Eve, we were to host a party. We cancelled that so we wouldn't pass our germs to anyone. We were feeling fine that night and still had a little family party. Grandma came down to visit us for 2 days so it ended up being a fun party.
