it's the first day of 2009 and i am hoping that this year will be a better year not only for me and my family but for everyone else.
and i guess like everyone else, i hope the newly-elected president will deliver the change he promised to America.
on a lighter note, we welcomed the new year quietly. we drove over to D's sister's place in Fullerton, had homemade mexican tacos for dinner and watched some dvds while waiting for the clock to strike 12. the kids were too tired to wait up so they were in bed by 10pm and so were we. well, we at least waited for 12mn, greeted each one a "happy new year!" chatted for a couple of minutes and after a while, we all retired for the night (we spent the night at Fullerton).
i guess we are really getting old...

i've made a new resolution - to capture our daily happenings in photos and write a short journal about it. i got this idea from 2 peas while browsing some projects posted by the members and liked the idea. but since i'm a slow scrapper, i decided to just blog about it and maybe turn it into a layout when given the time.
and here's what happened on the first day of the year.....
we all woke up around 9ish and since we were all too lazy to prepare breakfast, we all trekked to starbucks for our caffeine fix. i had my usual caramel macchiatto, Dell had his mocha drink and Igi had his all-time fave Horizon Organic Chocolate Drink and his animal crackers. after an hour of some family bonding, we headed home and played pictionary - girls vs boys and guess who won? hehehe
the kids got bored watching kung fu panda so they played outside. Igi enjoyed playing with the stones in Tina's garden. it's such a wonderful sight to watch my son having fun and getting his hands dirty since we don't have that luxury in our house now. well, we do have a big backyard but it's all cemented. =(
he played like crazy with all those vintage tonka toys - those solid metal tonka toys that could give you black and blue when you drop it on your feet. after a while, he biked, tried the scooter. and played ball. good thing i was able to capture these moments - for a while i had my senior moments again and forgot that i brought the camera with us.

at 3pm, he was ready to take his nap and slept till 4:30pm. when he woke up, he had yogurt for snacks and right after eating, we headed to our friends' house in Anaheim (Mike & Cream) to get the "food for the gods" that they made for us, konting kwentuhan and then we headed home.
the drive home was okay and no traffic so we decided to do a sidetrip at Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles and ordered some to go (1/2 chicken and deep fried chicken livers).
we were home at 7:30pm
