This year New Year's was really low key. I worked Monday through Wednesday this week, so I was ready for a 4-day weekend! Thursday we went to the gym together around 11am. After eating some lunch, Wiggy and I went grocery shopping to pick up stuff for dinner. We decided to do appetizer/finger foods for New Year's Eve. That included about 3 dozen wings from Vons deli...and they were tasty. We also had sliders, chicken strips, cheese sticks, and pretzel bites. We tried to make queso dip, but forgot about it in the crock pot and burned it. We were to stuffed anyways. :)
We put together a puzzle after dinner...which has become our NYE tradition. I think we finished it around 10:30pm. I made some homemade PB chocolate chip cookies and made ice cream sandwiches out of them for dessert.
After finishing the puzzle we hung out in the living room, around the fire. We played some Uno and watched the Ryan Seacrest NYE show up until midnight.
Exciting stuff! Haha.
At midnight Luke and the kids headed to the front yard. Tubbs blew his trumpet for a few moments.
Happy New Year's! 
That Stop Wasn't On My Itinerary....
So the Hogue's made it to Florida for our first official family vacation. It was Sawyer's first plane ride....and Simon's first plane ride that he can remember. We were excited....the boys were stoked. We had everything we needed! But it seems that Sawyer packed something with him that wasn't on our checklist: a big case of pneumonia. Yes, the little fella made it almost one whole day in Florida before he started heading downhill fast. Our 2nd day in Orlando we were in the Urgent Care south of Cocoa Beach. (By the way, to see a doctor more quickly, it helps if you vomit all over the waiting room in front of the receptionist. Little tip for ya) After chest x-rays they advised us to head to the ER in Melbourne, where they eventually admitted him to the hospital. So, we had 3 night deluxe accommadations at the Holmes Regional Medical Center. The little whipper snapper was a trooper though! The nurses loved him, thankfully, and made us all feel right at home. We were going to send postcards out with pictures of the hospital since we spent 40% of our trip there...but they didn't have any. Imagine that!Hmmm.....maybe its something they should consider.
