I love New Years. I love the feeling of starting with a clean slate. A chance to start fresh, to improve yourself, maybe even reinvent yourself. I love the fact that it holds promises yet to be seen. We started New Years day in Paola with the Nilson side of the family.
I love it when we all gather together in the log cabin and the kids and grand kids are all hanging around talking, laughing, getting to know each other again. Aunt Mary Ann and Aunt Dorothy have to be the sweetest, kindest ladies that I know. You just want to be a better person after hanging out with them.
I told Ryan that we really need to visit Aunt Dorothy more often. I think the boys would love helping her chase the chickens. Grandma and Paw Paw came and spent the night with us and of course Femi was in heaven. He really loves his grandparents.
We all went to church this morning and went out to eat, then came home to relax. Femi did have to say bye for now to his grandparents after he woke up for his nap.
We all went over to Uncle Aron and Aunty Gbaike's for the annual New Years day(this time it was the day after New Years) Hop Johns and Greens meal, where Uncle Aron officially proposed to Gbaike! It was really sweet even though the ring was a ring pop. No he is not a cheapskate, the ring pop is the only "ring" that would fit Aunt Gbaike's skinny fingers, so until he got her ring size the ring pop would be a substitute. We all loved it and can't wait to see the real ring. So with only two days into the New Year, I would have to say that 2011 promises to be a good year.
