Ben's Birthday and New Year's Eve

2 nights ago, we were invited to Ben's 28th birthday party where Kristen made her unreal chicken pot pie (something about a full can of alfredo sauce makes anything delicious), complete with individual initials on the finely egg-washed flaky crusts. Dinner was amazing, then it was followed by a strawberry cake complete with made from scratch strawberry butter cream icing. So delicious! (wow, i feel like i could work at a magazine writing captions!)


We had a great night of just spending time together, and although Willis didn't demonstrate his newly developed tricks we still got some good pictures. Scott Adelman stopped by and brought his typical excitement and commentary on most conversation topics. It was fun. This also gave me a chance to try out our new camera, including my first attempt at uploading video onto the blog so that when our daughter comes, I will be an old pro. So here it is, a video of Willis laughing at the camera and holding his head up (but no rolling over...)


For the new year, we spent the evening at Hunter and Emily Jones' house and the Brotherton's were there and it was a low key night of just hanging out. Emily was 37 weeks pregnant and Jac is now 27 weeks today, so we took the obligatory pregnant belly picture. Stupid ABC did not replay the ball dropping in central time, so we were watching Ne-Yo singing or something stupid, and Jaclyn looked at her watch and noticed it was 12:03, so we missed the new year. I may write ABC an angry letter. Who knows?
