We are ringing in the new year with salsa chicken and margaritas (just Libby and I are drinking these). Even though Hayden doesn’t get to drink margaritas he still likes it when we make them because he gets to have a lime wedge. Hayden ate three wedges like an orange. Happy Margarita night! (Oh yeah……
Today, we spent lots of time together with swimming, shopping, and out to lunch. We played legos and marble tracks. We’re rounding our special day together with a candlelight dinner listening to Christmas music. This has been perfect.
When we go swimming at the Y, the kids and I swim in the big pool. It is 25 yards long (standard length) and 9 feet deep in the deep end. The shallow end goes for about 15 meters before there are buoys on a rope that separate the deep end from the shallow end….
