Today was Bills....... should I dare say it.....42nd birthday. We had a very low key celebration for him but it was very special. The boys colored a very interesting "Happy Birthday" banner and I baked a yummy chocolate cake. I surprised the birthday boy by getting a babysitter so that we could go on a date. So after we celebrated with the boys we headed out for an adult dinner. It was wonderful!!!!
I am so thankful for this wonderful man that God has placed in my life to be my husband and the father of my children. Happy Birthday my love!!!!

House of Bliss
Not long into the new year we truly had a house full of "Bliss". Bill's mom along with his brother Dan and family came for a visit. Though it was short we enjoyed having them here. Will & Wyatt had fun playing with their cousin Anthony, the water in the pool was COLD, but it didn't keep them from getting in and swimming. Bill took Anthony fishing where he caught not only his very 1st fish, but also his 2nd, 3rd, 4th & 5th (what can I say we have some hungry fish here). He was so proud, and we were very excited for him. Eventually we all ended up around the lake fishing and by the end of the day we had all caught a fish....even Mimi, I was impressed.

The Sims visit to Casa de Bliss
One of the highlights of our holidays this year was the visit from the Sims family. Scott (Okee Joe), Toni (Lokster), Trinity (TT) & Gabrielle (Gabbers or Peanut) initially planned to come for 1 night but we talked them into staying the week and they brought in the new year with us...it was great!!!!! Getting them to stay longer was actually much easier than I thought...I start talking about making peach cobbler and frying a turkey...oh and maybe we can go have Mexican tomorrow.....that is all it took, we had them for a few more days.
Some of the highlights of their stay included - fishing, Scott making "Papa Sims" fried tacos, Toni & Gabbers cleaning out my closet and giving me "What not to wear" advice, TT baking lace cookies on New Years Eve, & an adult date night...the girls are wonderful babysitters!!!!
They are great guests and we hated to see them go. It was a great start to 2009.
