Words:

Our New Year started off pretty well. This year, like the previous 3 years, we stayed home. Akeem & I figured if we were going to stay at home, we might as well offer to babysit our nieces so his sister could go out. (We'd live vicariously through her LOL) Out of 5 girls, only 3 made it to midnight--Jenelle, Akira, & Tamaya. We also discovered that in our neighborhood, people like to usher in the new year with random gunshots. (Needless to say, this lease will not be renewed)

After sleeping, the girls and I decided we needed to beuaitfy ourselves for the new year so I painted their nails. I have 2 colors of nail polish and everybody had to have a pattern. Pink-orange-pink or orange-pink-orange or pink-pink-orange, etc etc. Gotta love being a mommy of girls or else you'd go nuts!

We finished up the day by heading over to Nana's house for a quick visit. Akeem finally got to deliver his gift to her which was a laptop! She was in disbelief, shock, ecstasy, all in that order. Akeem was happy because he just gave the best.gift.ever.
