A new look for the new year....







NOT!

Happy New Year everyone. We celebrated in style (more pictures to come) with the Eberhart's. We were invited to a New Year's Eve party where you were suppose to wear a wig. After looking all over for wigs with no success, Chad settled for the cowgirl wig from Alyssa's 2006 Halloween costume and I borrowed Amber's (our 6 year old neighbors) Hannah Montana wig. Chad made a stylish skater dude and I...well someone said I looked like the lady on 40 year old virgin, who was drunk in the VW bug...I don't recall what the chick looked like, but I don't think it was a compliment. Oh well. We were pretty proud of ourselves for being so creative and not spending a dime. Chad Eberhart went with the used car sales man wig and Desiree with the bar wench wig. We were feeling really good until the four of us walked in and were the ONLY people with wigs on.
At least the little girls at the party thought I was a hit, being Hannah Montana. It was a fun night.
Our family has discussed our New Year's Resolutions...or areas we'd like to improve on:
Emily has resolved to:
Be a better wife
Take more risks and do things that she is too afraid to do (like Zumba...which I tried for the first time today and actually liked it.)
Not use the credit card

Chad resolved to:
Be better at finishing projects that he starts (YAY!)
Be a better husband and dad to the kids (he said he'd try not to get too short with them in the mornings when he is trying to get them ready for school and child care...after I've left) Not sure what he wants to improve on in the husband department, but I'll keep you posted.

Alyssa resolved to:
Eat more vegetables and take less time in the bathroom

Owen resolved to:

Pick up after himself and walk not run in the house

We will see how we do.

Looking forward to 2008!
