Happy New Year

We had a small, very nice New Years celebration. Susie, Nelson, Jaden, Joe, Sam, Matt and Jessica came over to celebrate with us. Susie, Nelson and Jaden got Macie the cutest toy, it has a little piggy that squeaks and they got her an adorable sleeper. Matt and Jessica brought Macie a HUGE stuffed dog, it's bigger than her but she just smiles at him. I asked Jaden to name her new doggy, so his name is Marley (after Bob Marley). Macie and Jaden were both sleeping by 10:00 so they didn't get to ring in the new year with us, but they had fun and were very tired!!! We ate and played games and chatted all night. Sam was a trooper....think she stayed up until 4am playing games. I think I finally gave up around 2am and that was about 2 hours past when I should have gone to bed.

Nelson, this picture is ESPECIALLY for you!!!

Phil's birthday is also on New Years Eve so he does the "double celebration" and his brother Joe did a fine job of keeping up with the celebration. It's no secret when a Scimeca has had a little too much to drink (as you can see from these lovely pictures they took together)!! Susie, Jaden and Nelson baked a yummy cake for Phil's birthday. It said "Mama Mia Uncle Phil" on it. Phil taught Jaden to say that a while ago and Jaden calls Phil "Mama Mia Uncle Phil" now....so cute! Thanks for the cake (kinda). Thanks (kinda) to Jessica and Matt for their cake too. Thank god I get a "free day" on my diet.......ugh! I of course had to do a quality check on both of the cakes to make sure they were suitable for serving.......they are!!

Think it's time to throw in the bottle???

Jaden helped Mama Mia Uncle Phil blow out his candles.

We had a really good time!
