New Years Eve!!!
So for New Years this year, the love of my life once again had to work. What does this mean and why would I even care?.......Because that means no party, no craziness and no midnight kiss.....or does it? Ha ha this year since Jon worked, I took on a different task for New Years, and it was rather fun!! My sister-in-law Ashley and her husband Brian had a fun party to go to but no babysitter...dun dun dun....but then here I come to tell her I have no plans and so then the sleepover is set. Caden, Calli, Cienna and Autumn had a major sleepover at my house for New Years. It was really really fun, we went out to Pizza Hut, then went and bought a cupcake cake for desert and we had candy and cookies and soda and watched movies all night. Autumn was the first one to lose the battle to sleep and could not make it past eleven. Then we lost Cienna around 11:15 and finally just as Caden and Calli were starting to lose as well..........2011 ARRIVED!!! A great ending to a great night. I decided that this year for my resolutions I want to make big changes, I would tell you what they are but that would ruin the surprise!
Oh Wow....2011!
Hmmmmm.....about me slacking, I would say I am pretty bad at keeping this updated, I need to try to do it at least once a week because in this crazy so much happens in one week, its going to be ridiculous to try and catch everyone up on our ongoing events. Here it goes anyway!!!
So Christmas was amazing! The Neely family was surprised with a living room full of gifts from Santa Claus! He sure knows his stuff because the smile on Autumn's tiny little face was something else. This year he brought her a gigantic toy box and an Art desk with every art supply you could imagine. He also filled her stocking to the brim with toys and candy and barbie dolls and barbie clothes and even got her another train engine for her Thomas the Train set and a sled for the mountains of snow we have here. On top of all this Jon and I got her outfits, puzzles, Jessie and Bullseye (to complete her set) and Jammies! I apologize I did not get alot of pictures of Christmas mainly because we film it instead, hoping to make these times last forever so maybe someday in the very very far future, Autumn can sit down with her family and watch her growing up. Jon and I also had an awesome Christmas and we even decided to get a mutual present for ourselves and buy a new Kitchen table! I cannot wait to go pick it out! This year was also a year full of family games. Jon came home with Sorry, Monopoly and I came home with three different versions of Scrabble! My absolute favorite game. Autumn recieved Candy Land and loves it! Autumn also got an AWESOME fishtank from her Aunty Sarah and she even got a red Beta fish for it. She looked at it and named it Chip, pretty cute Huh? Chip is now part of the family and the way he looks and acts he reminds me of one of those grumpy old men who frowns and bickers all the time, very funny! Christmas was definitely one to remember this year. We had wonderful Christmas parties from both mine and Jon's sides of the family and boy do we all sure know how to party! It was a blast. And at the Neely Christmas Party we even had a visitor. Santa Claus came to make sure everyone was being good, It was so great to see Autumn react. She ran up and gave him such a big hug and was by his side till he and Mrs. Claus left. Definitely a successful December!

Slacking
Its been a bit since I have updated this, I blame it on finals which is a very legit reason. Bringing this up to date, School is finally over as of yesterday. Thank goodness, I feel like I did well and hopefully my grades reflect that. My attitude however was rather horrendous the last two days of finals though. I suppose staying up at three in the morning is no good, and then tests stressing me out anyway is not a good combination. Thank goodness my wonderful husband understands. I know if I were him I would have exploded on me for how crappy my attitude was. I need to learn how to just chill out and take things in stride more than just making myself sick over silly things.
So this week was Jon's work Christmas party! What a fun night! It was interesting to see where he works and who he works with. They seem like a crazy bunch, but that is what makes the workplace fun! It was a potluck and surprisingly Autumn ate rather well. There was also a few little kids there for her to play with, and if you think you have heard noisey then just wait till you hear three toddler girls jammin' out and singing together with toy instruments! Oh WOW is all I gotta say about that.
Another exciting thing for Jon and I this week was December 7th. Yes I know that is also the day we remember Pearl Harbor, what a morbid day that was but in lighter news it is also the day five years ago that Jon and I started dating. I was fifteen and a freshman in highschool. He has been my one and only and my high school sweet-heart. We met in band class..........yes, we were both band geeks. Ha oh well, it brought us together so no complaints there. Now he just has to put up with me as his spouse. I cannot believe its been five years and getting longer and more perfect every day! He puts up with my insane OCD problems about a clean house and I have learned to live with his very forgetful mind. He makes me laugh till I cry, he holds me close when I need him, When we are mad at each other, he still lets me know how much he loves me, he is a wonderful father and my very best friend. With all that I would say band class was definitely worth it!
We also did family pictures with a very good friend of mine this past week. They are amazing. She has had no training other than just putting herself in there and going for it. I love her work and the most amazing part about it is she is free!!!!! She does it for a hobby!! Whats even better is she edited them and then gave us all the pictures on a disk so we could print out whatever we wanted!!!
All in all a very productive week!!!

So an amazing thing happened to our family on November 23rd! Carly and Greg, my brother and sister in laws, had a beautiful baby boy! What a blessing, in the midst of a blizzard that was chilling Evanston to its core, these two were able to bring something or better yet someone so special and wonderful into this world! The family is now one person bigger and better because of this little guy. And what an adorable little boy he is! 8 pounds 4 ounces and 20 inches long! A big healthy baby! I am such a proud Auntie! I love this little one so much already!
A Pool Party!.......In NOVEMBER!
So as I have said, Autumn's party went off amazingly. It was so fun having our friends and family come and visit her and share the celebration of her special day with her. She sure cleaned house on all those presents. My missy is such a fashionista! A girlie girl to the very core of her, so it came as no surprise that when she opened presents containing Barbies, faeries, coloring pages, stickers, puppies, clothes and shoes, she was in a complete state of bliss. She even went as far to point out that she "did not have this one, and this one, and this one" when she recieved her tinkerbell dolls and saw the other faeries on the back of the box! Greedy....Maybe a little.....Then after her party and swimming till they dropped, we called a day well done and went home, Autumn could not keep her eyes open! A successful party!
