New Years 2009

I hope everyone had a safe and happy New Years. Our evening plan was far from how our evening turned out...but that's life with a toddler- you have to adapt. So adapt we did! Our plan was to go back to First Night Austin event downtown- eat dinner, enjoy the parade, take part in the activities, etc. What we did was drive 40+ minutes, pay $10 to park, walked in the blistery cold wind, walked over the bridge to enjoy the parade- left the parade before it started because Jaxson wanted to have nothing to do with it, stopped off at a free train expo that was nearby, went to a Pizza place to eat. While waiting for our food Scott & Jaxson "played" outside to not disturb others with our toddlers less than pleasant attitude. Pizza was good- the strange South Austinite that sat next to us was less than pleasant for us...and well the entire restaurant I'd say. After pizza we decided it was time to go. We enjoyed the rest of the evening at the Astons playing with Baby Carter and playing the bowling game on Wii...which Jaxson is so cute while he plays along.


All in all it was a very nice evening and we were happy to ring in the New Year as a happy, healthy family.
