Resolutions.
Some hate them, some love them, but whether we want to admit it or not, we all make them. My old stand-by in school was to stop biting my nails. I never succeeded. As an adult, I really enjoy the start of a new year, and I use it as a time to reflect, plan & hope.
I've got a lot of plans for this year.
Sarah's List
- Bake croissants from scratch. I have the ingredients ready to go.
- Master the macaroon- I can do it.
- Read more often; magazines do count! Sorry, bibliophiles.
- Exercise out of love, not out of guilt.
- Turn the TV off, especially if no one is watching.
- Savor my time off from work.
- Live as though I am on vacation.
- Frame those rolled up prints, and find a spot to hang them.
- Limit procrastination. This is the hardest for me. (See delayed blog below for proof.)
Derek's List
- Get a job.
- Lose weight; get down to 210.
- Try to remain as calm, and positive as possible.
Oh, did we tell you we spent Christmas in Las Vegas & it was amazing?

We stayed six nights and Grandpa, Nana, Ma Candy & Papa Craig joined us in Sin City. We ate, we laughed, stayed up late and enjoyed Christmas away from home. We were so busy, we didn't take many photos.

| Ed's first Vegas meal |
We frequented our usual favorites, the Peppermill, Payard, Evening Call for daiquiris, Bouchon Bakery & RA sushi.

Papa Craig even rented this enormous van for us to travel to the Hoover Dam. It was so large, people thought he was running an airport shuttle, which I guess is true because he did drop us off at McCarran.

Imagine a little girl dressed in a Hello Kitty outfit. This girl is walking around her favorite city and she sees Hello Kitty. See, it didn't take one thousand words to describe this picture.

Did I tell you we met Ice-T at Peepshow? Well, we did. Annabelle is now obsessed with Crazy Girls. Ed ate his way through a buffet & Baby D and I even beat the house. It may not be a traditional Christmas destination, but we had a blast. We hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and hope 2013 is treating you well!
