Happy New Year!!

Here is to a wonderful 2006!!

Last night Gary and I stayed home and played Triopoly. It was a fun cozy night with just the two of us. We watched the ball drop at midnight and went to say Happy New Year to our beautiful sleeping daughter at 12:30. And then we went to bed. Doesn't seem like much, but it was the best way to ring in the new year for me to spend it with Gary.

Today we went to visit with my dad's side of the family to celebrate our Christmas. No one exchanges gifts or anything, (thank goodness no more toys came home...LOL). It was a nice dinner and visiting with all my aunts, uncles and cousins that I don't get to see very often. Of course, they just love Alyssa and you can never hear too many times how you have the cutest daughter!!

Tonight I started to take down the tree. I figured I would get a jump on it tonight so that tomorrow I won't have much to do. Hopefully Gary will be cooperative and put the stuff in the attic, so that it isn't cluttering the closet and we can start focusing on where everything else that is left in the spare bedroom is going to go. We finally found a cute border and theme for Alyssa's new room and I am so excited to start putting everything together. We also bought a new mattress for the crib we are going to use from my mom. My mom is going to come over next Friday or Saturday and start putting up the border in Alyssa's bedroom. I am starting to get really excited!!

The garage people say that tomorrow they plan on wrapping up the garage and Tuesday install the garage door. I can't believe that it is almost done. I have taken another picture to post, but I have been lazy about posting pictures, so that is why you haven't seen it. My only concern is that Gary and I don't think they are putting drywall in our garage. We were once told that because we were so close to the neighbor's house, that we would need to have fire-rate drywall (I don't know if that is the correct term or spelling) in the garage. We thought it was quoted with the garage, but now looking through our papers, it wasn't stated in the quote. The problem is that we didn't take out any extra money, so if the drywall is going to cost more, where are we going to get it from?? Tomorrow I am going to call the company we contracted and find out what the deal is with this. So, we will see what they say tomorrow.

I hope everyone had a wonderful New Year's Day and continues to have a great 2006!!!
